Biface Fragment XCB-003-160 is a site that was tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971. It serves as the type-site for the Izembek Phase. Located near a small village with a unique whalebone house, the site features many artifacts similar to those found in the Bristol Bay region. The artifacts date back approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts were researched under 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. The artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Processed in Geomagic or Polyworks, they utilized 2-8 photos for texture in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work was done at Id. St. Univ.'s IVL. Subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. A.P. McCartney's research on the site is documented in "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula," published in APUA 16(1):59-84 in 1974. H. Maschner also presented findings related to the Izembek Phase in Arctic Anthro, vol. 41 no. 2, January 1, 2004, with a doi of 10.1353/arc.2011.0007.
