==== Runestones ====

 

The majority of runic inscriptions from the Viking period are found in Sweden and date from the 11th century. The oldest stone with runic inscriptions was found in Norway and dates to the 4th century, suggesting that runic inscriptions pre-date the Viking period. Many runestones in Scandinavia record the names of participants in Viking expeditions, such as the [[Kjula Runestone#Sö 106|Kjula runestone]] that tells of extensive warfare in Western Europe and the [[Turinge Runestone]], which tells of a war band in Eastern Europe. Other runestones mention men who died on Viking expeditions. Among them are around 25 [[Ingvar runestones]] in the [[Mälardalen]] district of Sweden, erected to commemorate members of a disastrous expedition into present-day Russia in the early 11th century. Runestones are important sources in the study of Norse society and early medieval Scandinavia, not only of the Viking segment of the population.<ref>Sawyer, P H: 1997</ref>{{citation needed|date=November 2017}}
