End Blade Base. XCB-105-1321. 400 BCE-100 CE XCB-105 Adamagan, meaning "place of walrus hunters" in Aleut, sits atop Morzhovoi Bay on the western Alaska Peninsula. This massive village boasts multiple occupations that showcase its rich history. During its occupancy from 400 BCE to 100 CE, it stood as the largest Arctic village with an estimated population of 1000 people. The site also reveals limited occupations dating back to 2200-1700 BCE, 1000-600 BCE, and 900-1100 CE. Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts stem from extensive research funded by grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner led the investigation as Principal Investigator. These artifacts were meticulously scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Processing occurred in Geomagic or Polyworks, with 2-8 photos used for texture in Geomagic Wrap. The original digitizing work took place at the IVL on Id. St. Univ.'s campus, while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage.
