Biface Fragment XCB-003-116 XCB-003, or IZM-003, was thoroughly tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971 at a site that serves as the type-site for the Izembek Phase. The location features a small village with a distinctive whalebone house and numerous artifacts closely resembling those found in the Bristol Bay region. It dates back to around 1200-1350 CE. Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts were produced as part of extensive research funded by NSF grants 9630072, 9814086, 9996372, 9996415, 1139266, and 1321411, led by H. Maschner, Principal Investigator. High-resolution scans were taken using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Subsequent processing was done in Geomagic or Polyworks, with 2-8 photos used for texture enhancement in Geomagic Wrap. The original digitizing work was conducted at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney, A.P., presented Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula in APUA 16(1):59-84 in 1974. Maschner's research was published in Arctic Anthro. on January 1, 2004, with a DOI of 10.1353/arc.2011.0007, volume 41, number 2, pages 98-111.
