This, to my mind, is the earliest confirmed hnefatafl find, what with the Vimose board (A.D. 400) actually being Roman. Although a supposed hnefatafl find in Dorestad is earlier, I can't find any detailed information on it.

Stone Age game.
Note item 6 in the photo below; black, polished game pieces found in a stone age settlement in Denmark, several small pieces with one larger piece. Stone age board game with a chief piece? Or a stone age hunters' game with a prey piece?
