Malakoff discusses the archaeological excavation of a 19th century Polynesian village in Utah. The town was known as Iosepa (the Hawaiian word for "Joseph") and was founded in 1889, but the inhabitants - a community of Hawaiian Mormons - were forced out in 1917. Objects excavated from the site provide a rare look into how the Pacific Islanders adapted to the foreign desert lands of Utah.
