Obsidian Izembek Point. XCB-003-903. XCB-003 or IZM-003 was tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971. It serves as the type-site for the Izembek Phase. A small village with a unique whalebone house and many artifacts similar to those found in the Bristol Bay region exists here. The site dates back approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts were 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. Processed in Geomagic or Polyworks, 2-8 photos were used for texture in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work was done at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney's study, "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula," was published in APUA 16(1):59-84 in 1974. Maschner's research, with a DOI of 10.1353/arc.2011.0007, appeared in Arctic Anthro on January 1, 2004, in volume 41 number 2, pages 98-111.
