Abstract

In September 1992, limited fieldwork in the vicinity of the Eastern Plano site of Rimouski (DcEd-1), excavated during the summer of 1991, led to the discovery of a partially intact portion of a new site in a wooded lot. Located at the same altitude, ca 86 m above sea level and on a similar sandy landform, the site has revealed a diagnostic Plano point of the Sainte-Anne-des-Monts type. Following a general description of the site, the tools will be presented as well as the artifactual distribution. The cultural significance of this new site will also be discussed within local and regional frameworks.
