Izembek Point XCB-003-176 is a site that was thoroughly investigated by A.P. McCartney in 1971. This location serves as the definitive type-site for the Izembek Phase. A small village with an extraordinary whalebone house and numerous artifacts closely resembling those found in the Bristol Bay region can be seen at this site. It dates back approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts are presented as a direct result of extensive research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner is the Principal Investigator responsible for this project. These artifacts were digitized using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. The data was processed in Geomagic or Polyworks. In addition to this, 2-8 photos were utilized for texture in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work was carried out at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney's research on Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula was published in APUA 16(1):59-84 in 1974. Maschner's work, with a DOI of 10.1353/arc.2011.0007, was featured in Arctic Anthro., January 1, 2004 vol. 41 no. 2, pages 98-111.
