End Blade Base XCB-003-926 XCB-003 or IZM-003 is a site meticulously examined by A.P. McCartney in 1971. It serves as the fundamental reference point for the Izembek Phase. A small village featuring an exceptional whalebone house and numerous artifacts closely resembling those found in the Bristol Bay region exists here. This site dates approximately to 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts are showcased as a direct outcome of the research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner is credited as Principal Investigator for this project. These artifacts were meticulously scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i scanner. Subsequent processing was performed in Geomagic or Polyworks software. High-quality textures were created by utilizing 2-8 photographs in Geomagic Wrap. Original digitizing work was carried out at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney's groundbreaking research is documented in his seminal paper, "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula," published in APUA 16(1):59-84 in 1974. Additionally, H. Maschner's significant findings are presented in "Arctic Anthropology" (doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007), volume 41, number 2, January 1, 2004, pages 98-111.
