Biface Fragment XCB-003-211 XCB-003, or IZM-003, was thoroughly tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971. It stands as the type-site for the Izembek Phase. This small village boasts a unique whalebone house and many artifacts resembling those found in the Bristol Bay region. Dating back to approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts are showcased, resulting from research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner led the investigation as Principal Investigator. These artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Processed in Geomagic or Polyworks, 2-8 photos were utilized for texture in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work was completed at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were finished at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney's findings are detailed in A.P. McCartney, Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula, APUA 16(1):59-84 (1974).
