Large Bifacial End Blade. XCB-105-1785. 400 BCE-100 CE XCB-105 Adamagan, a place of walrus hunters in Aleut, sits at the head of Morzhovoi Bay on Alaska's western Peninsula. This massive village had multiple occupations when it was inhabited from 400 BCE to 100 CE, making it the largest Arctic village with an estimated population of 1000 people. Limited occupations also date back to 2200-1700 BCE, 1000-600 BCE, and 900-1100 CE. Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts were discovered through research funded by NSF grants 9630072, 9814086, 9996372, 9996415, 1139266, and 1321411. H. Maschner led the investigation as Principal Investigator. Scanning was done using Faro Edge Arms or Minolta Vivid 9i scanners, while processing took place in Geomagic or Polyworks software. Two to eight photos were used to create textures in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitization occurred at Id. St. Univ.'s IVL, with subsequent processing and publication completed at Global Digital Heritage.
