Hafted Knife XCB-003-621. XCB-003, or IZM-003, was extensively tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971 at the site which is now known as the type-site for the Izembek Phase. The small village featured a unique whalebone house and numerous artifacts similar to those found in the Bristol Bay region. The artifact dates back approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts were presented as a result of research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411 by H. Maschner, Principal Investigator. The artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i, then processed in Geomagic or Polyworks. 2-8 photos were used for texture in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work was done at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney's research led to the discovery of Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula, published in APUA 16(1):59-84 in 1974. Maschner also contributed to Arctic Anthro with a study published on January 1, 2004 vol. 41 no. 2, page 98-111, accessible via doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007.
