Biface Fragment. XCB-105-1915. 400 BCE-100 CE XCB-105 Adamagan, or place of walrus hunters in Aleut language, dominates Morzhovoi Bay on the western Alaska Peninsula. As a massive village with multiple occupations, it was at its peak when occupied from 400 BCE to 100 CE, boasting over 1,000 residents and standing as the largest Arctic settlement. In addition to this primary occupation, limited evidence of earlier periods has been found, dated between 2200-1700 BCE, 1000-600 BCE, and 900-1100 CE. Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts result from research conducted under NSF grants 9630072, 9814086, 9996372, 9996415, 1139266, and 1321411. H. Maschner leads this investigation as Principal Investigator. These artifacts were scanned using a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Processed with Geomagic or Polyworks, texture was achieved through 2-8 photos in Geomagic Wrap. Initial digitization took place at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage.
