Biface Fragment XCB-003-403 XCB-003, also known as IZM-003, was thoroughly examined by A.P. McCartney in 1971. This site serves as the foundation for the Izembek Phase classification. A small village with a distinctive whalebone house and numerous artifacts similar to those found in the Bristol Bay region exists here. The estimated age of this cultural artifact is between 1200-1350 CE. A comprehensive collection of Alaska Peninsula artifacts was gathered through research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner led this investigation as the Principal Investigator. Scanning was done using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. The artifacts were processed in Geomagic or Polyworks. Two to eight photographs were used for texture in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work was carried out at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. A.P. McCartney's research on Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula was published in APUA 16(1):59-84 in 1974. H. Maschner also conducted a study, which can be found at doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007, published in Arctic Anthro. January 1, 2004 vol. 41 no. 2, pages 98-111.
