Stemmed Point Base XCB-003-445 XCB-003, or IZM-003, was thoroughly tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971. It serves as the primary reference point for the Izembek Phase. A small village featuring a unique whalebone house and numerous artifacts similar to those found in the Bristol Bay region was discovered. These artifacts date back approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts were carefully collected as a direct result of research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner was the lead investigator on this project. The artifacts were digitized using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i scanner. They were then processed in Geomagic or Polyworks software. A total of 2-8 photos were used to create texture in Geomagic Wrap. The original digitizing work was done at the IVL at Id St Univ, while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney's research was published in his 1974 paper "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula" (APUA 16(1):59-84). Maschner's findings were also published in Arctic Anthro (January 1, 2004 vol. 41 no. 2 98-111), and can be accessed via doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007.
