Biface Fragment XCB-003-478 XCB-003, known also as IZM-003, was excavated by A.P. McCartney in 1971. This site serves as the type-site for the Izembek Phase. Located near a small village featuring a one-of-a-kind whalebone house and numerous artifacts similar to those found in the Bristol Bay region. Dating back to approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts were made possible through research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner led the project as Principal Investigator. These artifacts were digitized using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Further processing was done in Geomagic or Polyworks. Two to eight photos were utilized for texture in Geomagic Wrap. The original digitizing work took place at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., with subsequent processing and publication completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney, A.P. (1974) Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula was published in APUA 16(1):59-84. Maschner's research is also documented in doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007 Arctic Anthro., January 1, 2004, vol. 41 no. 2, 98-111.
