Abstract
This paper introduces a novel method for identifying redundant signs (allographs) in undeciphered scripts by analyzing sign positions within inscriptions. Applying this method to the Indus Valley Script, the study demonstrates the script's multi-directionality and proposes a reduced sign list by grouping 50 pairs of signs based on insignificant variations. This reduction may simplify future decipherment efforts.
