In fact‚ many surviving rune carvings all over Viking areas in Europe are inscriptions written in the third person by persons wishing to commemorate the deceased. Creating epitaphs of this kind was the task of rune writers or carvers‚ usually retained by the wealthy.

The way the Vikings traded was rather similar to the way of others; only they travelled and traded in mass groups.

In particular‚ the Oseberg ship and it’s carvings‚ created by the Vikings sometime in the first half of the ninth century‚ offers striking similarities to the carvings at Urnes (Carter‚ 151). Eaton claims that the theme of the carvings at Urnes “owes much to Viking precedent; it closely resembles that of the Oseberg ship” (502). Again‚ this provides the proof necessary to dispel the notion that these Stave churches
