"Sigríðr of Hváll gave this staff for mercy towards the souls of Arnþórr
and herself"
(Arnþórr was presumably her husband, and Hváll is the farm
Kvåle near the church.)
"Kiss me"
"Now there is a great fuss here" Someone wrote on a rib bone, probably from their meal.
"Gyda says you should go home"
These were found in Norway. They're called runesticks and what they are, are just sticks with little carvings of runes. This was before the Latin alphabet, and before paper had reached Europe. It seems like people back then had a need for "texting" too.
