Drill. XCB-105-3254. 400 BCE-100 CE XCB-105 Adamagan (Aleut for place of walrus hunters) dominates Morzhovoi Bay, western Alaska Peninsula. This massive village was home to multiple occupations. At its peak 400 BCE-100 CE, it boasted the largest population in the Arctic with an estimated 1,000 residents. Excavations also uncovered limited occupations dating back to 2200-1700 BCE, 1000-600 BCE, and 900-1100 CE. Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts were produced as a direct result of extensive research under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, NSF 1321411. H. Maschner led the research efforts as Principal Investigator. The artifacts were meticulously scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Sophisticated software such as Geomagic and Polyworks was employed for processing. A total of 2-8 photographs were used to achieve detailed texture in Geomagic Wrap. Initial digitizing work took place at the IVL, Idaho State University. Subsequent processing and publication were completed by Global Digital Heritage.
