Izembek Point Base XCB-003-245 XCB-003, or IZM-003, was extensively examined by A.P. McCartney in 1971. It serves as the type-site for the Izembek Phase. A small village features a one-of-a-kind whalebone house and numerous artifacts similar to those found in the Bristol Bay region. The site dates approximately between 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts are presented as a result of extensive research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner is the Principal Investigator for these projects. The artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i scanner. They were processed in Geomagic or Polyworks software. 2-8 photos were used to create texture in Geomagic Wrap software. Original digitizing work was done at the IVL at Id. St. Univ. Subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney, A.P., conducted groundbreaking research titled Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula, which was published in APUA 16(1):59-84 in 1974. 2. Maschner also contributed to the field with a paper titled Arctic Anthro. January 1, 2004 vol. 41 no. 2 98-111, available at doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007.
