Bifacial Knife or End Blade. XCB-105-2017. 400 BCE-100 CE XCB-105 Adamagan, meaning place of walrus hunters in Aleut, is situated at the head of Morzhovoi Bay on the western Alaska Peninsula. This massive village boasts multiple occupations and was inhabited from 400 BCE to 100 CE, making it the largest Arctic village with an estimated population of 1000 people. Limited occupations date back to 2200-1700 BCE, 1000-600 BCE, and 900-1100 CE. Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts result from research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, NSF 1321411. H. Maschner leads the project as Principal Investigator. These artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Processing was done in Geomagic or Polyworks, with 2-8 photos used for texture in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work took place at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage.
