Solheim's hypothesis of a trade/culturfal link between Ancient Near East and the Mediterranean (referenced at ) Mirror: Section 1: Backbone of Indus Script Corpora. The presentation is organized in three sections suggesting the pursuit of an area of research of Bronze Age suggested by Wilhelm G. An archaeometallurgical evidence of the discovery of a Bronze Age village and cemetery site of Ban Chiang of Thailand is compelling and matches with the geological reality of the largest tin belt of the globe located in the Ancient Far East. A profound set of researches related to the spread of Austro-Asiatic languages from Indian sprachbund to Ancient Far East provide the evidence for this possibility of cultural exchanges starting from the Bronze Age. This hypothesis is framed on the George Coeded, French savant's magnum opus, in the wake of discovery of Angkor Wat: Ancient History of Hinduised States of Far East (French original: Histoire ancienne des états hindouises d'Extrême Orient, 1944.) The state formation in Ancient Far East should have been founded on centuries of earlier contacts and cultural exchanges between the seafaring Meluhha merchants and seafaring artisans of the Ancient Far East. A Tin Road of the Bronze Age is posited preceding the Silk Road of Sutra texts from Indian sprachbund. The hieroglyhphs signify hard alloy and deep boat (canoe) respectively which indicate the need for researches on seafaring and maritime activities of Meluhha artisans and merchants of the Indian Ocean.
The monograph is a postscript to the decipherment of 'backbone' and 'skeleton' hieroglyphs used extensively on Indus Script Corpora in the context of metalwork catalogues of the civilization contact areas. An Indian Ocean Community existed in the Bronze Age transacting on the Tin Road.
