Abstract

This analysis comprises part of a larger project on the placement of rune-stones in the local area of Tiohärad. It considers two rune-stones, Sm 36 and Sm 37, in Bolmaryd. The older stone, Sm 36, is placed in the grounds of what would have been a large farmhouse or village and could only have been seen by its householders and visitors. The text is short and simply refers to a family relationship. The younger stone, Sm 37, meanwhile, like several of the rune-stones in Tiohärad, is placed in a communicatively strategic position on a larger road. It has a more extensive text which focuses on the social rank of the commemorated thane Vend. Both of the stones show how location and message can vary according to the intended recipients of the message.
