3D-data Runstenar och tidigkristna gravmonument i Västergötland 3D-data Runestones and Early Christian grave monuments in Västergötland

3D-scans of runestones and Early Christian grave monuments from Västergötland. This dataset includes 3D-models of late 10th-11th century runestones and early Christian grave monuments 3D-scanned for research. The study focussed on analysis of the runic inscriptions and ornament, therefor only the inscription surfaces have been scanned. Results of analysis have been published in the article "Runstenar och eskilstunakistor i Västergötland: Ett exempel på förändrad mobilitet" (English summary) in the journal Futhark: International Journal of Runic Studies (Futhark 2012, pp. 145-176; see related publications). The signum Vg + number is an ID-code used in the record of runic inscriptions kept by Runverket at the Swedish National Heritage Board. The signum originates in the corpus publication Sveriges runinskrifter and other publications and reports, and is used in most publications and web-based resources. It is the key to find further references on a specific runic inscription and the object carrying it. As the runic sigla may cover several stones, eg. various fragments of Early Christian grave monuments, the sigla have been complemented by other identifiers (i.e. catalogue numbers in Ljung 2016, Lundberg 1997).
