Izembek Point, Variation Contracting Stem XCB-003-220 or XCB-003, also known as IZM-003, was a site tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971. It served as the type-site for the Izembek Phase. The site featured a small village with a unique whalebone house and numerous artifacts similar to those discovered in the Bristol Bay region. Dating back approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts were compiled as a result of research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner led the investigation as Principal Investigator. The artifacts were digitized using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i scanner. Subsequent processing was completed in Geomagic or Polyworks software. Two to eight photos were used for texture in Geomagic Wrap. The original digitizing work took place at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney's research findings were published in APUA 16(1):59-84, under the title Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula. Maschner's study was later featured in Arctic Anthro., January 1, 2004, vol. 41 no. 2, with a DOI of 10.1353/arc.2011.0007.
