Polished Slate End Blade XCB-003-924. XCB-003 or IZM-003 was extensively tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971 at the site where it originated. The excavation uncovered a small village featuring an extraordinary whalebone house and numerous artifacts remarkably similar to those discovered in the Bristol Bay region, with a dating range of approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts were meticulously documented as part of research funded by NSF grants 9630072, 9814086, 9996372, 9996415, 1139266, and 1321411. H. Maschner served as Principal Investigator for this project. The artifacts underwent scanning using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i, followed by processing in Geomagic or Polyworks. A total of 2-8 photographs were used to create texture models in Geomagic Wrap. The original digitizing work was conducted at the IVL at Id St Univ, while subsequent processing and publication took place at Global Digital Heritage. A.P. McCartney published a comprehensive report on Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula in APUA 16(1):59-84, dated 1974. H. Maschner also contributed to Arctic Anthro, January 1, 2004 vol. 41 no. 2, with an article titled " doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007".
