Biface Fragment XCB-003-565. XCB-003, or IZM-003, was thoroughly tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971 at a site that serves as the defining location for the Izembek Phase. This small village boasted a distinctive whalebone house and numerous artifacts closely related to those found in the Bristol Bay region. Dating back approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts were made possible by research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411, led by H. Maschner as Principal Investigator. These artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i, with subsequent processing done in Geomagic or Polyworks. A total of 2-8 photos were used to generate texture in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work was completed at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while further processing and publication took place at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney's extensive research is documented in his 1974 paper, "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula," published in APUA 16(1):59-84. Maschner's findings are also detailed in his article, "Arctic Anthropology," Arctic Anthro., January 1, 2004, vol. 41, no. 2, 98-111.
