Izembek Point XCB-003-447 is a site where archaeologist A.P. McCartney conducted thorough research in 1971. This site serves as the type-site for the Izembek Phase and features a small village with a unique whalebone house and numerous artifacts closely related to those found in the Bristol Bay region. The archaeological evidence suggests that this site dates back approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts were discovered through research funded by grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner led the research as the Principal Investigator. The artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i, then processed in Geomagic or Polyworks. 2-8 photos were used to create texture in Geomagic Wrap. Initial digitizing work was completed at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication took place at Global Digital Heritage. A.P. McCartney's research on Izembek Point XCB-003-447 is documented in his 1974 paper, "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula," published in APUA 16(1):59-84. H. Maschner also discussed this site in his 2004 article, "Arctic Anthropology," volume 41, number 2, pages 98-111.
