"We institute it when the wall was broken downwardly as well as seat dorsum together," Robin Lucas, archeologist at the Uppland Museum, told The Local. "It's from the classic runestone-erecting menstruum of the 11th century."
Four runes tin endure seen on the stone – "an ua" – but nearly of the inscriptions are missing from the fragment. Neither discussion is complete, but tin potentially endure read every bit "... he was..." or "... he has become".
More than one-half of Sweden's runestones accept been institute inward the Uppland region, but this detail i all the same stands out from the remainder because it was made of limestone.
"Runestones made of limestone are rattling rare inward Uppland. Usually, granite dominates. In areas alongside a lot of limestone, such every bit Gotland as well as Öland, it is to a greater extent than common. But limestone does be inward Uppland inward modest pockets, thence it may rattling good endure from or thence here," said Lucas.
Only i slice of runestone made of limestone has thence far been institute inward the area, likewise at Lena Church many years ago, as well as archaeologists believe the ii fragments are business office of the same stone.
The showtime fragment, which has been tentatively dated to the slow 11th or early on twelfth century, reads: "... Åsbjörn and... land. May God deceive those who failed him."
"That is a curious formulation," said Lucas. "Most runestones are from Christian origin, merely similar these ones. They unremarkably tell things similar 'praise the Lord', thence it is quite uncommon to purpose a stone similar that to enquire for vengeance."
Combining the ii fragments, the archeologist right away believes that it could accept belonged to soul from the early on Middle Ages, who mightiness accept been betrayed as well as killed abroad.
H5N1 squad of archaeologists volition drib dead along the search for to a greater extent than stones inward the coming weeks to uncovering out what happened dorsum then. "We volition endure paying actually unopen attending to other parts of the wall. Hopefully we’ll uncovering to a greater extent than stones that way."
