Hafted Tool XCB-003-155 XCB-003, or IZM-003, was thoroughly examined by A.P. McCartney in 1971 at a site that would later become the type-site for the Izembek Phase. The research revealed a small village with an extraordinary whalebone house and numerous artifacts closely resembling those found in the Bristol Bay region. It is estimated to have been inhabited approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts were documented as part of a comprehensive study undertaken under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner served as Principal Investigator for this research project. The artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i, then processed in Geomagic or Polyworks. A minimum of 2-8 photos was used to create texture in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work was conducted at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., with subsequent processing and publication completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney's research, published in 1974, revealed evidence of prehistoric cultural integration along the Alaska Peninsula. His findings were presented in APUA 16(1):59-84. In a later study, Maschner documented similar trends in Arctic Anthro., January 1, 2004 vol. 41 no. 2 98-111.
