Izembek Point XCB-003-287 is a site that A.P. McCartney investigated in 1971 and it serves as the type-site for the Izembek Phase. This small village features a unique whalebone house and numerous artifacts similar to those found in the Bristol Bay region, dating back approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts are presented as a result of research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner is the principal investigator who led this research project. The artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i scanner. They were then processed in Geomagic or Polyworks software using 2-8 photos for texture in Geomagic Wrap. The original digitizing work was done at the IVL at Idaho State University, while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. A.P. McCartney published his findings in "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula" in APUA 16(1):59-84 in 1974. H. Maschner's research is also documented with a DOI of 10.1353/arc.2011.0007, published in Arctic Anthro on January 1, 2004, volume 41, number 2, pages 98-111.
