Human: Ground and Flaked Scraper. XCB-105-3023. 400 BCE-100 CE XCB-105 Adamagan (Aleut for place of walrus hunters) stands proudly at the head of Morzhovoi Bay, western Alaska Peninsula. This massive village boasts multiple occupations that have left a lasting legacy. Occupied from 400 BCE to 100 CE, it was the largest Arctic village with an estimated 1,000 inhabitants thriving in its midst. The village also features limited occupations dating back to 2200-1700 BCE, 1000-600 BCE, and 900-1100 CE, each contributing to the rich tapestry of human history. The Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts are a testament to the tireless efforts of researchers under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner leads this groundbreaking research as Principal Investigator. These remarkable artifacts were meticulously scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i scanner. The resulting data was expertly processed in Geomagic or Polyworks software, with 2-8 high-quality photos employed to create detailed textures in Geomagic Wrap. The initial digitizing process took place at the Institute for Vertebrate Paleontology and Zoology (IVL) located at Iditarod University, while subsequent processing and publication were completed by Global Digital Heritage's team of experts.
