Polished Slate End Blade XCB-003-195 XCB-003, or IZM-003, is a site examined by A.P. McCartney in 1971. It serves as the primary location for the Izembek Phase. A small village with an extraordinary whalebone house and numerous artifacts similar to those found in the Bristol Bay region exists there. The artifact dates back approximately 1200-1350 CE. Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts are presented due to research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner leads this investigation as the Principal Investigator. These artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Processing was done in Geomagic or Polyworks. 2-8 photos were used to create texture in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work took place at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication occurred at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney, A.P. conducts a study titled Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula in APUA 16(1):59-84 in 1974. Maschner publishes Arctic Anthro., January 1, 2004, vol. 41 no. 2, with a DOI of 10.1353/arc.2011.0007, featuring an article from 98-111 pages.
