Tune stone

Norway

The Tune stone is a runestone written circa 200–450 AD. It is written in the Elder Futhark script, and its language is Proto-Norse. It was discovered in 1627 in the church yard wall of the church in Tune, Østfold, Norway. Today it is housed in the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History in Oslo. The Tune stone is possibly the oldest Norwegian attestation of burial rites, inheritance, and beer.
