Izembek Point Base XCB-003-495 XCB-003 or IZM-003 is a site that A.P. McCartney tested in 1971. It serves as the type-site for the Izembek Phase. A small village features a unique whalebone house and many artifacts similar to those found in the Bristol Bay region. The village dates back to approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts are presented due to research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner is the Principal Investigator who led this research. The artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Processing was done in Geomagic or Polyworks. Between 2-8 photos were used for texture in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work was completed at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., with subsequent processing and publication completed at Global Digital Heritage. A.P. McCartney's research is documented in "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula," published in APUA 16(1):59-84, in 1974. H.
