context_page_description: A number of runestones have been found in Oklahoma. All of them are likely of modern origin, with some of them possibly dating to the 19th century "Viking revival" or being produced by 19th-century Scandinavian settlers.
  The oldest find is the "Heavener Runestone," first documented in 1923. It is most likely a 19th-century artifact made by a Scandinavian immigrant. Two other "Heavener Runestones" are most likely not runic at all but exhibit incisions of Native American origin. Three other runestones, found in Poteau, Shawnee and Pawnee, are of modern date.
