Adze Blade XCB-105-1272. 400 BCE-100 CE XCB-105 Adamagan, a place of ancient walrus hunters, stands proudly at the head of Morzhovoi Bay on Alaska's western Peninsula. This massive village boasts multiple thriving occupations. At its peak from 400 BCE to 100 CE, it was the largest Arctic village, boasting an estimated 1,000 inhabitants. Additional limited occupations date back to 2200-1700 BCE, 1000-600 BCE, and 900-1100 CE. Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts were unearthed through extensive research funded by grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner led the investigation as Principal Investigator. The artifacts were meticulously scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i, then expertly processed in Geomagic or Polyworks. A total of 2-8 photographs were utilized to create detailed textures within Geomagic Wrap. Initial digitization took place at the IVL, Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication occurred at Global Digital Heritage.
