Work
Roelandt is not institutionally affiliated. Her work is characterised by close structural reading, explicit methodological transparency, and a stated policy of not proposing phonetic values for signs. Her two most-cited posts concern the Zagi Tablets: in the first she argues that the sign UNIT should be read as the kin term CHILD; in the second she reconstructs a multi-generational family tree from the corpus using a working transliteration she designed as a readability aid, not as a phonetic proposal.
She identifies herself on her blog as having interests in undeciphered writing, genealogy, and pattern recognition.
