Kulisteinen, Norse runestone in Smøla Municipality, Norway
The Kuli stone features a prominent cross on its broad side and contains runic inscriptions along the narrow edges of the stone surface.
The stone inscription indicates that Christianity had been present in Norway for twelve winters, making it a significant marker of religious transformation.
The inscription includes the first documented use of the name Norway on Norwegian soil, marking it as a crucial linguistic and historical artifact.
The original stone resides at Vitenskapsmuseet in Trondheim, while a replica stands at the presumed original location in Kuløy.
The stone underwent laser scanning and microcartography analysis in the 1990s, revealing new details about its ancient inscriptions.
