Human: Bone Awl. XCB-105-4011. 400 BCE-100 CE XCB-105 Adamagan, a sprawling Arctic village, stands proudly at the head of Morzhovoi Bay on the western Alaska Peninsula. A multitude of occupations thrive within its massive walls, making it the largest village in the Arctic during its peak occupation from 400 BCE to 100 CE, with an estimated population of 1000 people. Archaeologists have also uncovered limited occupations dating back to 2200-1700 BCE, 1000-600 BCE, and 900-1100 CE. The Western Alaska Peninsula's rich cultural heritage is a result of extensive research conducted under the guidance of grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner leads this archaeological endeavor as Principal Investigator. A team of experts utilized either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i to scan the artifacts, which were then processed in Geomagic or Polyworks software. To achieve photorealistic textures, 2-8 photos were carefully selected and applied using Geomagic Wrap. The original digitization work was carried out at the IVL at Idaho State University, while subsequent processing and publication took place at Global Digital Heritage.
