Izembek Point Base XCB-003-366 is a site meticulously investigated by A.P. McCartney in 1971. The location served as the type-site for the Izembek Phase, which showcases a small village featuring an exceptionally unique whalebone house and numerous artifacts strikingly similar to those discovered in the Bristol Bay region. This remarkable archaeological find dates back approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts are presented as a direct result of thorough research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner, the Principal Investigator, spearheaded this groundbreaking project. These artifacts were meticulously scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Subsequent processing and publication of these findings were accomplished in Geomagic or Polyworks, utilizing 2-8 high-quality photos for texture enhancement in Geomagic Wrap. The original digitizing work was carried out at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., with subsequent processing and publication completed at Global Digital Heritage. A.P. McCartney's seminal research, published in 1974, sheds light on prehistoric cultural integration along the Alaska Peninsula in "APUA 16(1):59-84." Additionally, H. Maschner's work, published on January 1, 2004, in Arctic Anthro., vol. 41, no. 2, provides further insights into this fascinating topic, accessible through doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007.
