Numerals on the Indus scripts seem to be represented by vertical lines (represented by number of lines in the glyph), but they only go up to 7. Analysis reveal 4 more signs that appear in the same context as these numerals, and so they could represent numbers higher than 7. The fact that no vertical-line numeral sign denotes 8 could mean the language is based 8.

Thanks for another good puzzle.

Thanks for making this a series, Teresa! This was a fun solve.
