from a story about the same work, from The Hindu:
Indus civilisation reveals its volumetric system The three pots from Harappa with volumetric inscriptions on them. Calculations indicate that the Indus volumetric system is based on multiples of 9.24 litres. (Below) A reconstruction of broken bangles from the Moneer area of Mohenjo-Daro. The number of reconstructed bangles (17) matches the number from the sealing text on the pot that had the broken bangles inside. The other photo shows Indus fish signs.

Some of the writing was deciphered and mentioned “those d**n derivatives are screwing up our financial markets again”. Quite sophisticated...
