Izembek Point XCB-003-515 XCB-003, or IZM-003, was thoroughly tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971. It serves as the type-site for the Izembek Phase. The site features a small village with a distinctive whalebone house and numerous artifacts closely resembling those found in the Bristol Bay region. Dating back approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts were discovered through research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner led this investigation as the Principal Investigator. These artifacts were captured using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i scanner. The data was then processed in Geomagic or Polyworks software, utilizing 2-8 photographs to create textured surfaces in Geomagic Wrap. Initial digitizing took place at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed by Global Digital Heritage. McCartney's findings were published in his 1974 article Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula, appearing in APUA 16(1):59-84. Maschner's research was later discussed in Arctic Anthro, with a doi of 10.1353/arc.2011.0007, and featured in the January 1, 2004, issue (vol. 41, no. 2), pages 98-111.
