Stemmed Point Base XCB-003-931. XCB-003, or IZM-003, is a site where A.P. McCartney conducted extensive research in 1971. This site serves as the primary reference point for the Izembek Phase. Researchers discovered a small village with a unique whalebone house and numerous artifacts closely resembling those found in the Bristol Bay region. The estimated time period for these artifacts spans approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts were carefully documented through research funded by NSF grants 9630072, 9814086, 9996372, 9996415, 1139266, and 1321411. H. Maschner led this project as the Principal Investigator. High-resolution scans of these artifacts were conducted using either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. The resulting data was processed in Geomagic or Polyworks, with 2-8 photos utilized for texture enhancement in Geomagic Wrap. Initial digitizing work took place at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed by Global Digital Heritage. A.P. McCartney's findings are presented in his 1974 publication "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula" (APUA 16(1):59-84). H. Maschner's research is also documented in "Arctic Anthropology," January 1, 2004, volume 41, number 2 (98-111), with a unique digital object identifier: doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007.
