Izembek Point Fragment XCB-003-468 XCB-003 or IZM-003 is a site tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971, marking the type-site for the Izembek Phase. This small village boasts an exceptional whalebone house and numerous artifacts akin to those found in the Bristol Bay region, dating back approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts are showcased as a result of research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner led this investigation as Principal Investigator. The artifacts were digitized using either the Faro Edge Arm or the Minolta Vivid 9i. Geomagic or Polyworks software was employed for processing. In addition, 2-8 photos were utilized in Geomagic Wrap to generate texture. Original digitizing work took place at the IVL at Idahao State University, while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney's groundbreaking study, published in 1974, titled "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula," appeared in APUA volume 16(1):59-84. Additionally, Maschner's research was featured in Arctic Anthro, January 1, 2004, vol. 41 no. 2, with a DOI of 10.1353/arc.2011.0007, highlighting the significance of his findings on the subject.
