	abstract = {<p>The object of this article is to draw the attention of archaeologists working in the Arctic to a minority of lithic tools made of metabasalt. Much bigger than other rock families (pebbles, blocks, large flakes), they have received a different technical treatment. The lithic assemblage of the Tuvaaluk archaeological site (Dia. 4, JfEI-4), allows us to reconstitute the lithic reduction sequence, from the collection of raw material to the consumption of the tools themselves. A study of the mode of exploitation used by Dorset people on this kind of rock has been done in order to find the manufacturing techniques and to examine the questions posed by its presence. The results reveal a particular exploitation linked to the local availability of rocks and to the function of these tools. The pebbles tools, often neglected, are part of the Dorset technical system and deserve to be studied.</p>},
