Roeland Decorte

Aegean epigraphist; seals as integrated script, the Archanes script

Roeland Decorte is cambridge-trained Aegean epigraphist whose 2017 and 2018 studies argued that the whole seal face is script and that the Archanes script should be defined on its own terms., and appears in the record of Cretan Hieroglyphic as aegean epigraphist; seals as integrated script, the Archanes script.

Two questions rest in part on what Decorte did or said, among them “Is the Archanes script of the late Prepalatial seals the first stage of Cretan Hieroglyphic, or a separate script?”, which stands open: 2 answers, none ahead.
