Explanation:

Harappans knew how to write and most of their seals contain some form of script.But, unfortunately no one has yet been able to decipher that script.Various types of utensils, toys, seals, figurines have been excavated from different sites that often contain some signs of a written script.Since Harappans had an expanded trade network, they could not have merely survived writing palmscripts. They must have had a robust system of writing and communication,especially to contact other countries by trade.
