Biface XCB-003-776 XCB-003, or IZM-003, was thoroughly tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971. It serves as the pivotal site for the Izembek Phase. The small village boasts 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 presented as direct results of research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner spearheaded the research efforts as Principal Investigator. These artifacts underwent scanning using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Subsequent processing occurred within Geomagic or Polyworks, utilizing 2-8 photos to create texture in Geomagic Wrap. Initial digitizing took place at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., with subsequent processing and publication completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney, A.P., made groundbreaking contributions in his 1974 paper Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula, published in APUA 16(1):59-84. Maschner's work was further highlighted in Arctic Anthro, January 1, 2004, vol. 41, no. 2, with a DOI of 10.1353/arc.2011.0007, specifically on pages 98-111.
