Izembek Point Base XCB-003-469 XCB-003, or IZM-003, was thoroughly investigated by A.P. McCartney in 1971. This site serves as the definitive type-site for the Izembek Phase. A small village with a one-of-a-kind whalebone house and numerous artifacts remarkably similar to those found in the Bristol Bay region exists here. Dating back approximately 1200-1350 CE, this remarkable discovery was made possible through extensive research funded by NSF grants 9630072, 9814086, 9996372, 9996415, 1139266, and 1321411, led by H. Maschner as Principal Investigator. A total of 2-8 photos were used to create texture in Geomagic Wrap. The original digitizing work was done at the IVL at Id. St. Univ., while subsequent processing and publication were completed at Global Digital Heritage. McCartney's groundbreaking research, "Prehistoric Cultural Integration along the Alaska Peninsula," was published in APUA 16(1):59-84 in 1974. Maschner's work, "Arctic Anthropology," is available online with a DOI of 10.1353/arc.2011.0007, and can be found in volume 41, number 2, January 1, 2004, on pages 98-111.
