Lothal Sealings: Records from an Indus Civilization town at the eastern end of the maritime trade networks across the Arabian Sea

The core of this research concerns the morphological description and the functional interpretation of the Lothal sealings. The analysis of the imprints on the clay lumps reverse shows that the sealings were applied on various fastening systems for the closure of rooms, structures (in this paper, architectural elements or parts of furniture) and movable containers.
