Stemmed Point Base XCB-003-933. XCB-003, or IZM-003, is a site meticulously tested by A.P. McCartney in 1971. It stands as the type-site for the Izembek Phase, showcasing a small village with an extraordinary whalebone house and numerous artifacts remarkably similar to those found in the Bristol Bay region. This remarkable find dates approximately 1200-1350 CE. The Alaska Peninsula artifacts are presented as a result of extensive research conducted under grants NSF 9630072, NSF 9814086, NSF 9996372, NSF 9996415, NSF 1139266, and NSF 1321411. H. Maschner spearheaded the investigation as Principal Investigator. These artifacts were meticulously scanned with either a Faro Edge Arm or a Minolta Vivid 9i. The subsequent processing was done in Geomagic or Polyworks. 2-8 photos were strategically used for texture 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 findings are detailed in his groundbreaking study, "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula," published in APUA 16(1):59-84 in 1974. Maschner's later research is documented in Arctic Anthro. January 1, 2004 vol. 41 no. 2, 98-111, with a reference to doi: 10.1353/arc.2011.0007.
