Summary

Site CEEU-4 is bordered by the Cap Rouge and St. Lawrence Rivers to the west, and is approximately 15 kilometers west of Québec City, Canada. The site is a 16th Century settlement know today as Fort Cartier-Roberval. Samples were collected by site CEEU-4 researchers and submitted to PaleoResearch Institute for phytolith analysis.
