Small Harpoon Bone Artifact XCB-105-3613 Dates to 400 BCE-100 CE The Adamagan Site, located at the head of Morzhovoi Bay on the western Alaska Peninsula, is a massive village with multiple occupations. At its peak during occupation from 400 BCE-100 CE, it was the largest Arctic village with an estimated population of 1000 people. Limited evidence suggests earlier occupations dating to 2200-1700 BCE, 1000-600 BCE, and 900-1100 CE. The Western Alaska Peninsula artifacts presented here are a result of research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner led the research as Principal Investigator. The artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i scanner. Processing was done in Geomagic or Polyworks software, with 2-8 photos used for texture in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work took place at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage.
