    Abstract

    Three radiocarbon datings corresponding to a previously published diagram from the Shetland Islands are presented. The recorded depths correspond closely to the depths in the published diagram, so the dates can be transferred directly to that diagram. It is concluded that Plantago lanceolata was local and that its appearance dates the immigration of man to the Shetland Islands at 3400 BC.
