Biface. XCB-105-1952. 400 BCE-100 CE\nXCB-105 Adamagan (Aleut for place of walrus hunters) dominates Morzhovoi Bay, western Alaska Peninsula's leading edge. This massive village thrived with multiple occupations during its peak occupation period spanning 400 BCE to 100 CE, making it the largest Arctic village with an estimated population of 1000 people. Additionally, limited occupations date back to 2200-1700 BCE, 1000-600 BCE, and 900-1100 CE.\nThe Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts are a direct result of comprehensive research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, NSF 1321411. H. Maschner led the research as Principal Investigator. These artifacts were digitized using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i scanner. Advanced processing in Geomagic or Polyworks software utilized 2-8 photographs for texture enhancement in Geomagic Wrap. Initial digitizing work took place at Id. St. Univ.'s IVL, while subsequent processing and publication were completed by Global Digital Heritage team members.
