What can newly discovered runic objects tell us about writing and everyday life in medieval Scandinavia?
This video covers two runic finds discovered only days apart during excavations in the Medieval Park in Oslo, Norway. A rune-inscribed bone and a rune stick were uncovered in separate contexts, providing rare insight into literacy, communication, and material culture in medieval Norway.
The finds are examined in their archaeological context, focusing on what the inscriptions, materials, and locations reveal about how runes were used beyond monumental stones. These objects reflect everyday writing practices rather than formal or ceremonial inscriptions.
The video places the discoveries within the broader tradition of runic writing in Scandinavia and explains why such finds are significant for understanding medieval urban life.
