Izembek Point Base XCB-003-301 is a site extensively tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971. This location serves as the type-site for the Izembek Phase, showcasing a small village with a distinctive whalebone house and numerous artifacts similar to those found in the Bristol Bay region. The site dates back approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts presented here are the result of thorough research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411, led by Principal Investigator H. Maschner. These artifacts were meticulously scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i, then processed in Geomagic or Polyworks software. A total of 2-8 photos were utilized for texture in Geomagic Wrap. The initial digitizing work was carried out at the IVL at Idaho State University, while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney's groundbreaking research on Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula is documented in APUA 16(1):59-84 (1974). H. Maschner's significant contribution to Arctic Anthropology is published as doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007, appearing in Arctic Anthro, January 1, 2004, vol. 41 no. 2, pages 98-111.
