Biface Fragment XCB-003-603. XCB-003, or IZM-003, is a site that A.P. McCartney thoroughly tested in 1971. It serves as the type-site for the Izembek Phase. The area features a small village with a distinctive whalebone house and numerous artifacts closely related to those found in the Bristol Bay region. This dates approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts are presented as a result of research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner was the Principal Investigator behind this research. These artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. The data was processed in Geomagic or Polyworks. 2-8 photos were used to create texture in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work took place at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., and subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney, A.P. (1974) conducted a thorough analysis of Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula. His research was published in APUA 16(1):59-84. Maschner's findings were later expanded upon in Arctic Anthro., January 1, 2004 vol. 41 no. 2 98-111.
