Adze Blade XCB-003-149 XCB-003 or IZM-003 was thoroughly tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971 at a specific site. This location serves as the type-site for the Izembek Phase, featuring a small village with an unusual whalebone house and numerous artifacts closely resembling those found in the Bristol Bay region. The time period dates back approximately 1200-1350 CE. Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts are showcased as a direct result of research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner is the Principal Investigator behind this project. The artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Processing took place in Geomagic or Polyworks, with 2-8 photos used to create texture in Geomagic Wrap. Initial digitizing work was performed at the IVL located at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney's research is documented in his 1974 paper, Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula, published in APUA 16(1):59-84.
