jade, silk, lacquer, and porcelain were prized in
Asia and Europe. Although the manufacturer of decorative objects involved sophisticated techniques many were mass produced. Unlike the merchants who sold their handiwork articians were well thought of in China." (Cotterell 56)

writing: In the text it says "Over 400 symbols have been uncovered from different locations." The text also says "
Some scholars have wondered whether these symbols actually constituted a proper writing system. " I know because in the text it said "Whatever the case, the lack of decipherable texts means that we can gain no real insight into many of the details of Indus society as well as little about its government and politics." (World studies)
architecture/ technology: In the text it says "The advanced architecture and construction techniques of the Indus cities is also shown with impressive dockyards, granaries, warehouses, brick platforms, and protective walls."
