	abstract = {<p>During the summer of 1984 the authors undertook a short archaeologica survey to confirm the presence of high quality chert in the Schefferville area, and to determine if this resource was exploited in prehistoric times. Two quarry sites with associated workshop locales were discovered. The artifacts and debitage surface collected from the sites represent all stages of biface production. Also recovered was a group of finished tools, in part manufactured from lithic raw materials other than the chert found in situ This may be a curated tool kit left at the quarry when fresh tools were manufactured. The possibility that the Schefferville area is the source of some of the cherts found on archaeological sites in other parts of northern Quebec is discussed, as is the significance of lithic procurement, reduction and transport studies to our understanding of northern Quebec prehistory.</p>},
