Author(s): Chad Yost
Year: 2010
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. The goal of the analysis was to recover and identify diagnostic phytoliths that could aid in identifying subsistence practices by the site occupants. Phytolith analysis will also be used to identify areas where crops may have been grown and processed.
