End Blade Fragment. XCB-105-3393, circa 400 BCE to 100 CE. XCB-105 Adamagan, named after its Aleut origins as a place of walrus hunters, is situated atop Morzhovoi Bay, western Alaska Peninsula. This sprawling village was home to multiple occupations during its occupancy from 400 BCE to 100 CE, solidifying its status as the largest Arctic settlement with an estimated population of 1,000 people at its peak. Archaeological evidence also reveals limited occupations dating back to 2,200-1,700 BCE, 1,000-600 BCE, and 900-1,100 CE. The Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts presented here were made possible through research grants from the National Science Foundation, specifically NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. The principal investigator behind this groundbreaking project is H. Maschner. These artifacts were meticulously scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Further processing and refinement took place in Geomagic or Polyworks, with 2-8 photographs used to create detailed textures within Geomagic Wrap. The original digitizing work was conducted at the Institute for Visualization and Learning (IVL) located at Idaho State University. Subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage.
