“…The failure of British emancipation to sanction full freedom, and the resulting unavailability of land and political frustrations, created a rapid rise in emigration. Migration became one of the most important features of freedom‐making (Adderley, 2006; Yun, 2008). Barbadians who looked to migration as an escape route sought to resist the political and economic constraints in an island as small as Barbados that blocked access to land and forced many into low‐wage plantation labor.…”

Global awareness of Liberia's recent past is largely limited to the long-term bloodshed that erupted with a 1980 coup and the civil conflict that followed soon thereafter (1989)(1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003). What remains understudied is how recent episodes of violence are tethered to the decades following Liberia's founding as a settler colony of the American Colonization Society in 1822. Our collaborative Back-to-Africa Heritage and Archaeology (BAHA) project, the first to archaeologically investigate the Back-to-Africa movement, explores processes of nineteenth-century settlement at sites established by West Indians and Black Americans. In this article, we focus on the Barbadiansettled township of Crozierville to highlight the complex ways in which materials associated with the colonizing project are linked to vestiges of recent violence that persist on the postwar landscape. With a specific focus on settler-community architecture, in addition to the material vestiges of civil conflict, this article highlights the need to understand recent episodes of violence through Liberia's unique history of Back-to-Africa settlement and the Black/African Diaspora.
