The Caistor-by-Norwich astralagus is a roe deer astragalus (ankle bone) found in an urn at Caistor St. Edmund, Norfolk, England in 1937. The astragalus is inscribed with a 5th-century Elder Futhark inscription, reading ᚱᚨᛇᚺᚨᚾ raïhan "roe deer". The inscription is the earliest found in England, and predates the evolution of the specifically Anglo-Frisian Futhorc. As the urn was found in a cemetery that indicated some Scandinavian influence, it has been suggested that the astragalus may be an import, perhaps brought from Denmark in the earliest phase of the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain. The inscription is an important testimony for the Eihwaz rune and the treatment of Proto-Germanic *ai. The h rune has the Nordic single-bar shape ᚺ, not the Continental double-bar ᚻ which was later adopt

| - El astrágalo de Caistor o Caistor-by-Norwich es un hueso astrágalo de corzo encontrado en Norfolk (Reino Unido) que lleva una inscripción rúnica en caracteres del futhark antiguo, datada en el siglo V. La inscripción puede transcribirse como raïhan (corzo). Ésta es la inscripción rúnica más antigua encontrada en Inglaterra, y es anterior a la evolución del alfabeto anglo-frisón, futhorc, por lo que pudiera ser una importación escandinava. Es un importante registro histórico de la runa ihwaz y la representación del diptongo protogermánico *ai. (es)
