End Blade / Biface Base XCB-003-159/XCB-003 or IZM-003 is a site explored by A.P. McCartney in 1971. It serves as the reference point for the Izembek Phase. A small village features a distinctive whalebone house and numerous artifacts that resemble those found in the Bristol Bay region. Dating back approximately 1200-1350 CE, the Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts are presented as a result of research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner serves as Principal Investigator. These artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Processing took place in Geomagic or Polyworks. 2-8 photos were used to create texture in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work was completed at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication occurred at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney, A.P. Conducted research on prehistoric cultural integration along the Alaska Peninsula in 1974. The study was published in APUA 16(1):59-84. Maschner's research is referenced in doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007 Arctic Anthro., January 1, 2004 vol. 41 no. 2 98-111.
