Hafted Knife. XCB-105-1554. 400 BCE-100 CE Adamagan, a massive village on Morzhovoi Bay's western Alaska Peninsula head, dates back to the Aleut era of walrus hunters. Occupied from 400 BCE to 100 CE, it boasted an estimated population of 1,000 people, making it the Arctic's largest village at that time. Additional occupations were found in the area, dated between 2,200 and 1,700 BCE, 1,000 and 600 BCE, and 900 and 1,100 CE. Research grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411 funded the excavation of Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts. H. Maschner led the investigation as Principal Investigator. These artifacts were digitally scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Processing occurred in Geomagic or Polyworks software, with 2-8 photographs used for texture in Geomagic Wrap.
