Evaluation of the results is ongoing with Professor Williams.

• Professor Henrik Williams holds the professorship in Scandinavian Languages at Uppsala University. He is primarily a philologist, teaching and doing research in Runology, Old Swedish and Old Icelandic, but he is also interested in names, both on persons and on places.

He has published a book on the language on Swedish runestones from the Viking age, an edition of the Old Swedish romance, Haerra Ivan, and major articles on the conversion of Sweden to Christianity.
