I provided a short wikipedia article on abstract labor here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_labour_and_concrete_labour
I think that for Marx, the real existence of social norms and conventional expectations governing labor efforts in any kind of society was the tangible, material foundation for an "abstraction" of labor which is simultaneously a "valuation" of labor.
