Stemmed End-Blade Base. XCB-003-790 XCB-003, or IZM-003, was put to the test by A.P. McCartney in 1971 at a site known for its Izembek Phase discoveries. The village itself boasts a unique whalebone house and numerous artifacts resembling those found in the Bristol Bay region. Researchers estimate it dates back to around 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts were uncovered as part of research funded by grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner led the project as Principal Investigator. The artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i, then processed in Geomagic or Polyworks. Two to eight photos were used for texture in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work took place at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., with subsequent processing and publication completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney's findings are detailed in his 1974 paper, Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula, published in APUA 16(1):59-84. Maschner's research is also documented in Arctic Anthro, January 1, 2004 vol. 41 no. 2, with a DOI of 10.1353/arc.2011.0007.
