Izembek Point XCB-003-277 is a significant archaeological site. It was tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971 and serves as the type-site for the Izembek Phase. This small village features a distinctive whalebone house and numerous artifacts closely related to those discovered in the Bristol Bay region, dating approximately between 1200 and 1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts presented here are a direct result of research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. The project was led by H. Maschner as the Principal Investigator. These artifacts were digitized using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i scanner. Subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. A.P. McCartney's work on Izembek Point is documented in his 1974 paper, "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula," published in APUA 16(1):59-84. H. Maschner also contributed to the understanding of this site with a publication in Arctic Anthro, January 1, 2004, vol. 41 no. 2, pages 98-111, accessible via doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007.
