There are about 3,000 runestones in Scandinavia (out of a total of about 6,000 runic inscriptions). The runestones are unevenly distributed in Scandinavia: The majority is found in Sweden, estimated at between 1,700 and 2,500 (depending on definition). Denmark has 250 runestones, and Norway has 50. There are also runestones in other areas reached by the Viking expansion, especially in the British Isles (Manx runestones, England runestones, Scotland and Ireland) and other islands of the North Atlantic (Faroes, Greenland, but not in Iceland), and scattered examples elsewhere (the Berezan' Runestone in Eastern Europe, and runic graffiti on the Piraeus Lion from Greece but today in Venice, Italy). The vast majority of runestones date to the Viking Age and the period immediately following the Christianisation of Scandinavia (9th to 12th centuries). A small number predates the 9th century; one of the last runestones was raised in memory of the archbishop Absalon (d. 1201). A small number of runestones may date to the late medieval to early modern period, such as the Fámjin stone (Faroe Islands), dated to the Reformation period. Modern runestones (as imitations or forgeries of Viking Age runestones) began to be produced in the 19th century Viking Revival. The Scandinavian Runic-text Data Base () is a project involving the creation and maintenance of a database of runestones in the Rundata database. Elder Futhark runestones The vast majority of runestones date to the Viking Age. There is only a handful Elder Futhark (pre-Viking-Age) runestones (about eight, counting the transitional specimens created just around the beginning of the Viking Age). Årstad Stone (390–590 AD) Einang stone (4th century) Tune Runestone (250–400 AD) Kylver Stone (5th century) Möjbro Runestone (5th or early 6th century) Järsberg Runestone (transitional, 6th century) Björketorp Runestone (transitional, 7th century) Stentoften (transitional, 7th century) Eggjum stone (8th century) Rök runestone (transitional, ca. 800 AD) Hogganvik runestone (350–500 AD) Younger Futhark runestones Scandinavia proper Sweden The number of runestones in Sweden is estimated at between 1,700 and 2,500 (depending on definition). The Swedish district of Uppland has the highest concentration with as many as 1,196 inscriptions in stone, whereas Södermanland is second with 391). Varangian Runestones – inscriptions that mention voyages to the East (Austr) or the Eastern route (Austrvegr).
