The entire body of scripts we have found is generally conceded to be more than sufficient to show it have functioned as complete system of writing before 2000 BCE even if the system remains undeciphered. There is no requirement for any individual text to be “complete” for the script on it to recognized as or even to be adaquate basis of decipherment of writing. As it happens many samples of Harappan script from both before and during the mature period are complete in the sense that the document is whole and contains everything it was originally meant to contain. Unfortunately most Harappan documents are brief. But there are lengthy samples containing 20-30 characters.
The fact that Harappan script remains undeciphered only hinder progress in understanding of some aspects of its history. However the scribes of Harappan civilization appears not to have been as much employed in producing chronicals as those of some other cultures, so it is not certain that even the successful decipherment of the Harappan script would aid in producing detailed political or administrative history as might be hoped.
However, Much of such aspects of the evolution of any culture, such as scope, rise and fall of population centers, types of economy, organization of society, even forms of government and system of trade, all parts of a culture’s history, can be deduced from excavations and examinations of artifact. We have quite extensive archeological records of Harappan culture encompassing remains of literally several thousand different towns, cities and settlements. Artifacts such as statuettes from Harappan culture has been in public consciousness as the Mohenjo Daro civilization since before WWII. we have reasonable broad outlines of scope and evolution of Harappan culture to decent idea where they existed, how they lived. We certainly know of other Bronze Age cultures that existed contemporaneously with Harappan cultures but of which we know much less either in professional circles or amongst the general public. So I don’t think it is at all unfair to say history of Harappan culture is well known, relatively, even if we might not perceive them to be as well known as those that have left us decipherable contemporaneous records, or those that exhibited clear continuity to some later point when historic restrospectives produced can be attempted to be believed.
