Izembek Point XCB-003-424, or IZM-003, was thoroughly tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971. This site serves as the definitive type-site for the Izembek Phase. A small village with a one-of-a-kind whalebone house and numerous artifacts similar to those found in the Bristol Bay region exists here. It dates back approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts are showcased as a direct result of the extensive 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 project. These artifacts were meticulously scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. They were then expertly processed in Geomagic or Polyworks. A minimum of 2-8 high-quality photos were used to create detailed textures in Geomagic Wrap. The original digitizing work was done at the IVL located on the campus of Id. St. Univ. Subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney, A.P., authored an in-depth study titled "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula" which was published in 1974 in the APUA 16(1):59-84 edition. Maschner's research is also documented in the Arctic Anthro. January 1, 2004 vol. 41 no. 2 98-111 issue, available online with a DOI of 10.1353/arc.2011.0007.
