Obsidian End Blade XCB-003-927. XCB-003 or IZM-003 is a site extensively investigated by A.P. McCartney in 1971. It serves as the type-site for the Izembek Phase. The small village features an unusual whalebone house and numerous artifacts closely resembling those found in the Bristol Bay region. Archaeologists estimate that it dates back approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts are presented as a result of comprehensive research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner is the Principal Investigator for this project. These artifacts were scanned using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. Subsequent processing was conducted in Geomagic or Polyworks. 2-8 photos were utilized to create texture in Geomagic Wrap. The 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 research is documented in APUA 16(1):59-84, published in 1974. Maschner's findings are also available online via doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007 Arctic Anthro, January 1, 2004, vol. 41 no. 2, pages 98-111.
