## Where it stands

**Still possible** Its tests haven't settled it: one piece of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Ohman had access to a rune row of the Ström type and the skill to cut stone.

## What would rule it out

- Documentary evidence places the carving elsewhere or with someone else.
