Idiberug (Svingerud) Runestone (100 CE)
This text is being claimed as the earliest runestone yet found and it is fairly well dated to between 1 and 250 CE.. This letter style is almost identical to that found in Alpine Celtic dated between 500 and 300 BCE. Alpine Celtic dates are not grounded in carbon 14 dating like this example but are assumed to be later because the Roman conquest was assumed to have eliminated their culture (but maybe not).

In the autumn of 2021, archaeologists of the Museum of Cultural History investigated a grave field by Tyrifjorden in Ringerike in Norway. In one of the graves, they discovered a stone with several runic inscriptions. Burnt bones and charcoal from the grave reveal that the runes were inscribed between the years 1 and 250 AD. This makes it the earliest known rune stone. Now at the Historical Museum at the University of Oslo
