Biface XCB-003-428, known as XCB-003 or IZM-003, was a site meticulously examined by A.P. McCartney in 1971. This site served as the type-site for the Izembek Phase, characterized by a small village featuring an extraordinary whalebone house and numerous artifacts closely resembling those found in the Bristol Bay region. The approximate date of this ancient settlement ranges from 1200 to 1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts were made possible through extensive research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner, the principal investigator, led this project. These artifacts were meticulously scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Subsequent processing was done in Geomagic or Polyworks. For texture, 2-8 photos were used in Geomagic Wrap. The original digitizing work took place at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney's significant contribution to prehistoric cultural integration along the Alaska Peninsula was detailed in his 1974 paper, "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula," published in APUA 16(1):59-84. H. Maschner's research on the Arctic culture was later featured in Arctic Anthro., January 1, 2004, vol. 41, no. 2, pages 98-111.
