Izembek Point XCB-003-357 is a site that was thoroughly tested by A.P. McCartney in the year 1971. This location serves as the type-site for the Izembek Phase, showcasing a small village with a distinctive whalebone house and numerous artifacts closely resembling those found in the Bristol Bay region. Archaeologists estimate that these structures date back to approximately 1200-1350 CE. The extensive collection of Alaska Peninsula artifacts was made possible through research grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411, all of which were led by H. Maschner as the Principal Investigator. The artifacts were meticulously scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i, with subsequent processing done in Geomagic or Polyworks. In addition, 2-8 photos were utilized to create texture in Geomagic Wrap. The initial digitizing work was carried out at the IVL located within Id. St. Univ., while further processing and publication were completed by Global Digital Heritage. A.P. McCartney's groundbreaking research is documented in his 1974 publication "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula" in APUA 16(1):59-84. Additionally, H. Maschner's notable work was featured in Arctic Anthro on January 1, 2004, with a doi of 10.1353/arc.2011.0007, volume 41 no. 2, pages 98-111.
