Fish Tail Point Base. XCB-105-3427. 400 BCE-100 CE XCB-105 Adamagan, named for its significance as a place of walrus hunters in the Aleut language, lies at the head of Morzhovoi Bay on the western Alaska Peninsula. This massive village was home to multiple occupations when it thrived between 400 BCE and 100 CE, making it the largest Arctic settlement with an estimated population of 1,000 people. Archaeological evidence also suggests earlier occupations dating back to 2200-1700 BCE, 1000-600 BCE, and a more recent phase from 900-1100 CE. The Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts are a result of in-depth 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 meticulously scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Subsequent processing was done in Geomagic or Polyworks software, with 2-8 photos used to create texture in Geomagic Wrap. The original digitizing work took place at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed by Global Digital Heritage.
