radiocarbon datings listed in Table 1 it is
concluded that P. lanceolata reached the
Faroe Islands about 2300 B.C. It is also
concluded that the plant was brought to the
islands by people. Another P. lanceolata
horizon is at Sandur, 390 B.C. It is not
certain whether this was a new settlement
or a spread of the plant within the islands.
Many datings of P. lanceolata are from the
time about AD 700, reflecting increased
human activity in the islands at this time.
