Human: Adze Bit. XCB-105-3731. 400 BCE-100 CE XCB-105 Adamagan, meaning "place of walrus hunters" in Aleut, is situated at the head of Morzhovoi Bay on the western Alaska Peninsula. At its peak, this massive village had multiple occupations and was home to an estimated 1000 people from 400 BCE to 100 CE, making it the largest Arctic settlement ever recorded. Other occupation periods dated back to 2200-1700 BCE, 1000-600 BCE, and 900-1100 CE. The Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts were made possible through research grants from NSF, including NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner led the research as Principal Investigator. These artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i scanner. Data processing was done in Geomagic or Polyworks software, with up to eight photos used for texture enhancement in Geomagic Wrap. Initial digitization work took place at the IVL on the campus of Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed by Global Digital Heritage team members.
