Biface Fragment XCB-003-406\nXCB-003 or IZM-003 was thoroughly examined by A.P. McCartney in 1971 at a site that would later serve as the definitive type-site for the Izembek Phase. This small village stood out due to its unique whalebone house and numerous artifacts remarkably similar to those found throughout the Bristol Bay region, dating back approximately 1200-1350 CE.\nThe Alaska Peninsula artifacts were meticulously presented as direct results of research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411, with H. Maschner serving as the Principal Investigator throughout these projects. The artifacts were meticulously scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i, with subsequent processing taking place in Geomagic or Polyworks. A total of 2-8 photographs were utilized for texture enhancement within Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work was conducted at the IVL located on the Id St Univ campus, while further processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage.\nMcCartney's groundbreaking research was first presented in his 1974 paper "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula," published in APUA 16(1):59-84. H. Maschner's subsequent study, published on January 1, 2004, can be found under doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007 in Arctic Anthro, Vol. 41 No. 2, pp. 98-111.
