Historical Photograph of Krogsta Rune stone (U 1125)
Rune stones
The Krogsta rune stone dates from the 6th Century, and is famous for its depiction of a human figure as well as being the only older futhark rune stone from Uppland still in situ. According to the Samnordisk Runtextdatabas, the inscription on the front (or side A, pictured here) is indecipherable. The inscription on the rear may refer to the stone itself. It reads: <br /><br />§A <strong>mwsïeij-</strong> <br />§B <strong>sïainaz</strong> <br /><br />§A ... <br />§B<em> stainaz(?)</em> <br /><br />§A ... <br />§B stone(?)

Sun Voyager (Sólfar) sculpture by Jón Gunnar Árnason
Sculpture
Photo of the Sun Voyager, a sculpture by Jón Gunnar Árnason, and unveiled in 1990 near Sæbraut in Reykjavík, Iceland. Though many people assume it to represent a Viking Ship and refer to Norse heritage, the artist's inspirations were more complex, and there is no specific connection to the Vikings. For more information, see items <a href="http://www.worldtreeproject.org/document/2630">#2630</a> and <a href="http://www.worldtreeproject.org/document/2631">#2631</a>

Photo of the Balladoole Boat Burial on the Isle of Man
Ship burials
A Viking-Age ship burial from the late ninth century / early tenth century was excavated beneath this ship setting now marking out the site in Balladoole on the Isle of Man. It contained a rich burial of a high-status man and woman with a horse and grave goods. It was built directly above Christian graves of a similar date, and may represent an expression of the Norse settlers' control of a sacred landscape.
