	abstract = {<p>This paper uses lithic analysis to investigate late Pre-Dorset stone-tool reduction strategies and land-use patterns in the islands of southwestern Hudson Bay in order to improve our understanding of Pre-Dorset lifeways in this \&quot;peripheral\&quot; region. We examine debitage and formal stone tools from the Burton Rock site (IeKn-12) to explore how the \&quot;atypical\&quot; large stone woodworking tools at the site were integrated within the more \&quot;typical\&quot; Pre-Dorset small tool technology. Our analysis suggests that, contrary to our expectation, both chert and pyroclastic rock were in short supply, and the use of pyroclastic rock for the large tools likely relates to nodule size rather than overall availability of the raw materials. Formal tools from Burton Rock are also compared to those from the nearby and roughly contemporaneous Seahorse Gully site in order to determine whether activities at Burton Rock were typical of late Pre-Dorset sites in the area. Tools for processing hard organics and for hunting predominate at both sites, indicating a similar range of activities and suggesting a high degree of consistency in the use of these islands in late Pre-Dorset times.</p>},
