First convert your data from short fat to long thin format: Column headings for the transformed data frame are:
Year Site Result This can be done in a variety of ways, but check out the reshape2 package or the reshape function ins the stats package. Once you have the data in this form, , say in the data frame, mydat, you can plot the series by sites in a trellised layout. Either the lattice or ggplot2 package can do this easily. e.g. in lattice it is: xyplot(Result ~Year|Site, data = mydat, type = "b") You can adjust the layout etc. to your taste. There's lots more you can do, depending on what is important to you, but that should get you started.
