Fish Tail Point Base. XCB-105-3427. Ancient Settlement of the Arctic Region, Dating Back 1,427 Years\nXCB-105 Adamagan, meaning "Place of Walrus Hunters" in Aleut, is strategically situated at the head of Morzhovoi Bay on the western Alaska Peninsula. This massive settlement boasted multiple occupations and was home to an estimated 1,000 people from 400 BCE to 100 CE, making it the largest Arctic village during that period. Archaeological findings also indicate limited occupations dating back to 2,200-1,700 BCE, 1,000-600 BCE, and 900-1,100 CE.\nThe Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts are a result of extensive research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner led the research as Principal Investigator. The artifacts were digitized using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i scanner, then processed in Geomagic or Polyworks software. Texture was added to the scans using 2-8 photos in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing took place at the Idaho State University's IVL lab, while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage.
