Endblade Base XCB-003-114 XCB-003, also known as IZM-003, was extensively tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971. This site served as the primary location for studying the Izembek Phase. The village, characterized by a distinctive whalebone house and numerous artifacts akin to those found in the Bristol Bay region, is dated to approximately 1200-1350 CE. The artifacts from Western Alaska Peninsula were compiled as a result of thorough research conducted under 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 scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Subsequent processing took place in Geomagic or Polyworks, with 2-8 photos used for texture in Geomagic Wrap. The 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, published in 1974, focused on prehistoric cultural integration along the Alaska Peninsula. His findings were documented in APUA 16(1):59-84. Additionally, Maschner's study, published in Arctic Anthro., January 1, 2004 vol. 41 no. 2, provided further insights into this subject matter, with a corresponding doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007.
