Human: End Blade Tip XCB-003-336 XCB-003, or IZM-003, is a site meticulously examined by A.P. McCartney in 1971. It serves as the type-site for the Izembek Phase. A small village boasts a unique whalebone house and numerous artifacts remarkably similar to those found in the Bristol Bay region. It dates back approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts are showcased as a direct result of the extensive research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner spearheads this project as the Principal Investigator. These artifacts were meticulously scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. The subsequent processing was done in Geomagic or Polyworks, with 2-8 high-quality photos utilized for texture enhancement in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work was carried out at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney's groundbreaking research is presented in "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula," published in APUA 16(1):59-84 in 1974. Additionally, Maschner's findings are documented in Arctic Anthro., January 1, 2004 vol. 41 no. 2, 98-111, accessible at doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007.
