Polished Slate End BladeXCB-003-908. The XCB-003 site was thoroughly tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971 and confirmed as the type-site for the Izembek Phase. This small village boasts a remarkable whalebone house and numerous artifacts that closely resemble those found in the Bristol Bay region, dating back approximately 1200-1350 CE. A comprehensive collection of Alaska Peninsula artifacts was compiled through research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner served as the Principal Investigator for this project. The artifacts were meticulously scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i, with subsequent processing completed in Geomagic or Polyworks. A total of 2-8 photos were utilized to create textured models in Geomagic Wrap. Initial digitizing work was performed at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney's 1974 study, "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula," was published in APUA 16(1):59-84. Additionally, Maschner's work, available online at doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007, appeared in Arctic Anthro, January 1, 2004, vol. 41 no. 2, pp. 98-111.
