This photo is a top view showing that 15 lines of runes were carved on a slab of rock laying on the ground. On the right is carving of a Viking longboat containing about 16 occupants and flanked by several crosses. In autumn of 2018, Ontario Centre for Archaeological Research & Education (OCARE) was contacted by a local Wawa historian about a potential rock carving (petroglyph). Initial research and a site visit was carried out in October of 2018.
Surprisingly, this runestone is authentic making it one of the most important discoveries in North American archeaology because it shows the Vikings were exploring as far as Hudson Bay and the Great Lakes. Its letter style is a mix of earlier Danish and Swedish letter styles. Therefore, it defines its own letter style called Atlantic. It also has some similarities with its contemporary Codex Runicus from 1190 CE.
The closest undisputed Viking settlement in North America is L'Anse aux Meadows on the northern tip of Newfoundland, Canada. It has carbon dating estimates ranging from 990 and 1050 CE and tree-ring dating of 1021 CE.
This text seems to be a debate about the merits of using astrology magic to overcome a drought. It likly written during a long layover while the group gathered furs.
