Hafted Knife. XCB-105-2870. Dating back to 400 BCE-100 CE XCB-105 Adamagan, named after its location in Aleut for place of walrus hunters, is situated at the head of Morzhovoi Bay on western Alaska Peninsula. This massive village had multiple occupations and was occupied from 400 BCE-100 CE, making it the largest village in the Arctic with an estimated population of 1000 people during that time period. Limited occupations have also been dated to 2200-1700 BCE, 1000-600 BCE, and 900-1100 CE. Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts were a result of research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, NSF 1321411. H. Maschner led the investigation as Principal Investigator. The artifacts were scanned with either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Processing took place in Geomagic or Polyworks, utilizing 2-8 photos for texture in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work was completed at IVL at Id. St. Univ., followed by subsequent processing and publication at Global Digital Heritage.
