An examination of the settlement{\textquoteright}s design and layout, together with an analysis of petroglyphs at the site, reveals ways this religious community actively negotiated traditional Hawaiian cultural practices and newly adopted Latter-day Saint beliefs in shaping and maintaining their unique religious identities; a process that continues among their descendants today.}}, journal = {{Historical Archaeology}}, volume = {55}, pages = {501--510}, }
