End Blade Tip XCB-003-720 XCB-003, or IZM-003, was thoroughly tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971 at the site itself. It serves as a vital type-site for the Izembek Phase. A small village with an extraordinary whalebone house and numerous artifacts similar to those found in the Bristol Bay region caught his attention. The dating of this find indicates it occurred approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts were carefully presented as a result of research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner led the investigation as Principal Investigator. These artifacts were captured using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. They were then processed in Geomagic or Polyworks. 2-8 photos were utilized for texture in Geomagic Wrap. The original digitizing work was done at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., and subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney, A.P. published Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula in APUA 16(1):59-84 in 1974.
