Obsidian Izembek Point Base XCB-003-231\nXCB-003 or IZM-003 was thoroughly tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971. It stands as the primary site for the Izembek Phase, showcasing a small village with an extraordinary whalebone house and numerous artifacts closely related to those found in the Bristol Bay area. The estimated time period is approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts are presented as a direct outcome of extensive research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner serves as the Principal Investigator behind this research. These artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i, and then processed in Geomagic or Polyworks. A total of 2-8 photos were utilized to create texture in Geomagic Wrap. The initial digitizing work was conducted at the IVL located within Id St Univ, while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. A.P. McCartney's notable study is reflected in his 1974 research titled "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula," published in APUA 16(1):59-84. H. Maschner's work is further documented in a 2004 Arctic Anthro publication, specifically in volume 41 no. 2, pages 98-111, with the doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007.
