Hafted Knife. XCB-105-1077. 400 BCE-100 CE. XCB-105 Adamagan, an Aleut word meaning place of walrus hunters, marks the head of Morzhovoi Bay on the western Alaska Peninsula. This massive village was occupied by multiple groups during its peak from 400 BCE to 100 CE, making it the largest Arctic settlement at that time with approximately 1000 residents. Further occupations were dated between 2200 and 1700 BCE, 1000 and 600 BCE, and 900 and 1100 CE. Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts result from research conducted under NSF grants 9630072, 9814086, 9996372, 9996415, 1139266, and 1321411. H. Maschner led the project as Principal Investigator. These artifacts were captured using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Geomagic and Polyworks software processed the scans. Two to eight photos were used for texture in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work occurred at the IVL on the Id. St. Univ. campus, while subsequent processing and publication took place at Global Digital Heritage.
