Bifacial Knife. XCB-105-1805. 400 BCE-100 CE. XCB-105 Adamagan (Aleut for place of walrus hunters) tops Morzhovoi Bay, western Alaska Peninsula. This massive village boasts multiple occupations when occupied from 400 BCE to 100 CE. It was the largest Arctic village with an estimated 1,000 residents at that time. Limited occupations dated 2,200-1,700 BCE, 1,000-600 BCE, and 900-1,100 CE are also present. Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts come from research funded by NSF grants 9630072, 9814086, 9996372, 9996415, 1139266, and 1321411. H. Maschner is the Principal Investigator of this project. The artifacts were scanned with a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. They were then processed in Geomagic or Polyworks using 2-8 photos for texture in Geomagic Wrap. Digitizing work began at the IVL on Iditarod Street, University of Alaska Fairbanks. Further processing and publication were completed by Global Digital Heritage.
