Carved Sea Mammal Bone Rod, often referred to as a "pencil shaped rod," XCB-105-4057, originates from 400 BCE-100 CE. The Adamagan site, located in the head of Morzhovoi Bay on the western Alaska Peninsula, boasts multiple occupations and is an immense village. At the time it was occupied, 400 BCE-100 CE, it was the largest Arctic settlement, estimated to house around 1,000 people. Further discoveries have revealed limited occupations dating back to 2200-1700 BCE, 1000-600 BCE, and 900-1100 CE. Artifacts from the Western Alaska Peninsula were produced through research grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411, led by Principal Investigator H. Maschner. These artifacts were digitized using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Processing took place in Geomagic or Polyworks, with 2-8 photos utilized for texture in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing occurred at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage.
