【要旨 / Abstract】
インダス式印章とは、印面に一角獣をはじめとする主モチーフと平均2〜5文字程度のインダス文字が陰刻され、裏面に紐を通すためのつまみをもつ方形・押捺型の判子状の凍石製遺物である。インダス文明（紀元前2600〜1900年頃）を特徴づける遺物の一つだ。
本報告では、当該遺物の彫刻技術を、SEM観察と3D（PEAKIT）解析を利用して考古学的に検討する。考察部分では、彫刻技術にもとづいて当該遺物を分類し、その意義について考えてみたい。
This presentation attempts to discuss the classification of the Indus-Type Seals in light of their carving techniques through SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and 3D (PEAKIT) analyses, and its significance.
As the analyses through SEM and 3D (PEAKIT) images describe, it has become evident that the Indus-Type Seals are characterized in various carving techniques and tools. Although data for the analyses is still limited, the results of this study lead to an important conclusion that has not been pointed out so far, that Indus-Type Seals can be classified based on shape of a cross section of the seal passing through the body of the animal depicted on the surface of the seal, namely whether the edge of the cross section is curved or angular (in some seals it is partly curved and partly angular). The two cross-section types are a result of the different carving techniques and carving tools, and correspond to the size of the seals.
Furthermore, because the different shapes of the cross sections correspond to the difference of design and distribution pattern of the seals, Indus-Type Seals can be divided into following two types. The Type-A seal is characterized by a left-facing animal motif having a curved cross section, a ‘Pattern I’ arrangement and a ‘type I’ boss. This type is distributed predominantly throughout the Indus Valley, excluding the Ghaggar Basin. The Type-B seal is characterized by a right-facing animal motif having an angular cross section and mainly a ‘Pattern II’ or ‘Pattern III’ arrangement and a ‘type II’ boss. It is concentrated in the Ghaggar Basin. This study concludes that it is likely that both seal types show the regional variations of Indus-Type Seals.
The next objectives in the study of the seals will be to accumulate SEM and 3D (PEAKIT) data of the Indus-Type Seals and to undertake an experimental archaeological study in order to fully understand and reconstruct the manufacturing techniques and tools.
