Claims as to the 'dating' of the KRS have been discussed in this newsgroup many times in the past. As far as I know the closest that anyone has come to 'dating' the stone is the claim of Scott Wolters that at the time it was found it was +200 years old. That does not establish a date. It does not even establish a proper date range.

Don't be silly, of course it has a "date range" it is that period between 1362 and the "+200 years old". It is plenty accurate enough for this item as it proves the authenticity of the rune stone - it leaves no room for doubt.

No room but 400 years. .
