Abstract Burins and burin spalls are among the most distinctive Arctic Small Tool tradition flaked stone items but questions remain about how and for what purposes they were used. A study of the burin spalls from a multi-component site located in the interior of Baffin Island, LdFa-1, reveals differences in use-wear from coastal sites that may reflect different activities, and demonstrates that burins and burin spall tools were likely expediently manufactured and discarded. Les burins et les coups de burin sont parmi les éléments de pierre taillée les plus distinctifs de la Tradition microlithique de l'Arctique, mais les questions restent de comment et pour quels buts ils ont été utilisés. Une étude des coups de burin d'un site Dorsétien et Prédorsétien situé à l'intérieur de l'île de Baffin, LdFa-1, révèle des différences dans les traces d'utilisation des sites côtiers qui peuvent refléter différentes activités et démontre que les burins et les utils coup de burin étaient probablement expédiemment fabriqués et débarrassés.
