Hafted Knife. XCB-105-1804. 400 BCE-100 CE XCB-105 Adamagan, the Aleut name for a place where walrus hunters once thrived, marks the head of Morzhovoi Bay on western Alaska Peninsula. This massive village was home to multiple occupations when it flourished from 400 BCE to 100 CE, earning it the title as the largest Arctic village with an estimated population of 1000 people. Additional occupations, though limited, have been dated to 2200-1700 BCE, 1000-600 BCE, and 900-1100 CE. Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts showcase the findings from 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. Further processing was done in Geomagic or Polyworks, with 2-8 photos utilized for texture in Geomagic Wrap. The original digitizing work took place at the IVL on Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage.
