Immediate replacement of fishing with dairying by the earliest farmers of the northeast Atlantic archipelagos

New multi-proxy evidence is presented, which qualitatively and quantitatively maps subsistence change in the northeast Atlantic archipelagos from the Late Mesolithic into the Neolithic and beyond, suggesting that geographically distinct ecological and cultural influences dictated the evolution of subsistence practices at this critical phase of European prehistory.
