|Period/Datering|Dating         | Rough dating of the enscription (u. = Proto-Nordic, v. = Viking Age, m. = Medieval).

## Understanding the Codes/Signum

Rundata uses Codes they call Signum to identify runic enscriptions, these have a certain logic to them

Sometimes the codes can contain the following meaningful signs:

|Sign|Meaning|

|---|---|

|†|The inscription has disappeared|

|$|New reading or interpretation that has been supplemented from another source|

|M|The inscription is medeival|

|U|The inscription is in Old Norse|

|No M or U| The inscription is Viking age|
