Izembek Point Variant XCB-003-286 XCB-003, or IZM-003, was extensively tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971. It serves as the definitive type-site for the Izembek Phase. A small village with a unique whalebone house and numerous artifacts similar to those found in the Bristol Bay region was identified. Dating back approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts were compiled as a result of comprehensive research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner spearheaded the research as Principal Investigator. These artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Subsequent processing in Geomagic or Polyworks took place. 2-8 photos were utilized for texture in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work was conducted at the IVL on the Idah St Univ campus. Further processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney, A.P., 1974, Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula, APUA 16(1):59-84.
