Bird Bone Awl. XCB-105-3544. 400 BCE - 100 CE XCB-105 Adamagan, situated atop Morzhovoi Bay on Alaska's western peninsula, served as the hub of a massive village with multiple thriving occupations. At its peak, between 400 BCE and 100 CE, this settlement boasted an impressive population of approximately 1,000 inhabitants, earning it the title of the Arctic's largest village during that era. Archaeological evidence also indicates earlier occupations at XCB-105 Adamagan, dated to 2200 - 1700 BCE, 1000 - 600 BCE, and 900 - 1100 CE. The artifacts uncovered from the Western Alaska Peninsula are a testament to research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner led this project as Principal Investigator. These artifacts were meticulously scanned using either the Faro Edge Arm or the Minolta Vivid 9i. The digitizing work was processed in Geomagic or Polyworks, while texture was added using 2-8 photographs in Geomagic Wrap. Initial digitization took place at the IVL facility on the campus of Id. St. Univ., with subsequent processing and publication completed at Global Digital Heritage.
