Biface Fragment XCB-105-1304, Dating to 400 BCE-100 CE XCB-105 Adamagan, a prominent village in western Alaska Peninsula, is situated at the head of Morzhovoi Bay. The site boasts multiple occupations, showcasing its massive scale during its peak occupation from 400 BCE-100 CE, when it was home to an estimated 1000 inhabitants, making it the largest Arctic village of its time. Limited occupations are also evident in the area, dated between 2200-1700 BCE, 1000-600 BCE, and 900-1100 CE. These findings underscore the long history of human presence in this region. The Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts were made possible through research grants from NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411, led by H. Maschner as Principal Investigator. These artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i, processed in Geomagic or Polyworks, with 2-8 photos utilized for texture in Geomagic Wrap. The original digitizing work was conducted at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage.
