Viking Age runes carved inside a 1,100-year-old silver arm ring from Scotland suggest that the ornament and the hoard it was buried with were owned by a community, rather than by an individual.
The inscription implies that the entire Galloway Hoard , which contains more than 11 pounds of silver and gold, was held in common by an early medieval community.
Metal detectorists found the hoard in 2014 near the village of Balmaghie in the Galloway region of southwest Scotland .
