Still not properly published though. [1] Doug Weller talk 17:55, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
Translation of the runes is difficult and there seems to be a dispute over what this word is. Any suggestions how to deal with this? Doug Weller talk 18:38, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
Of course, but I couldn't find the first source. I'll look tomorrow. Doug Weller talk 20:28, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
Hoax or no hoax, the location is the southernmost point in the Laurentian continental divide. Could 14th century surveyors figured that out? After the grand USGS survey results were in, that fact could have been the thing to motivate a hoaxer. The fact is, the stone was placed at the southernmost point of the Laurentian continental divide, and this fact isn't discussed much in the literature that I can tell. 172.58.142.156 ( talk) 23:18, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
A recent analysis attempts to pin down the dialect of the carver and uses these linguistic traits to argue that the carver was Anders Andersson, a friend of Olof Öhman. [2] Haukur ( talk) 22:27, 15 August 2019 (UTC)
The Kensington Runestone: Geological Evidence of a Hoax,Harold Edwards. 2020, The Minnesota Archaeologist. [3]
Abstract: "Analyses of the geology, geological provenance, fabrication, and lack of weathering show it consistent with an 1898 date and not a 1362 date. The agstone that was used as the raw material is not native to the Kensington area. Toolimpressions and other features of its fabrication are consistent with nineteenth century practice, not four-teenth century practice. All of the letters are virtually unweathered. A calcite-rich coating covers the lowerleft corner of the front. This coating is consistent with stucco applied to the surface of the sandstone. This coating is less weathered than the calcite in 61-year old marble tombstones found in Minnesota, so it couldnot have been exposed for 536 years. It is well established from karst geology that calcite weathers at leastone and a half times faster below ground than at the surface, so if the artifact were buried for any lengthof time, its calcite-rich coating, including its inscription, would have been obliterated. This artifact wascreated near the time of its discovery, and is a late nineteenth century hoax" Loads more detail.
