Adrian,
There are several published reports of German POW camps in Texas --
under the jurisdiction of the National Guard. Have you seen these?
Also the Army's Camp Bullis has an associated German POW camp.
If you need specific references I can pull them out, but you should be
able to Google it.

Subject: Bibliography on the Archaeology of Internment Camps
Ten thousand apologies for cross-posting...

Dear all,
I'm compiling an annotated bibliography on "the archaeology of
internment camps", very loosely defined, and related areas of research.
I'm interested in any archaeological work on: concentration camps, death
camps, PoW camps, relocation centers, prisons, asylums, reform schools,
and other institutions.
I'm particularly interested in those references that I may have missed
after the standard library and Google / Google Scholar searches: MA and
PhD dissertations, articles in less prominent and/or regional journals
and newsletters, and forthcoming publications for example. If you wrote
something yourself, please let me know - and if it's a "hard to find"
publication, I welcome a copy of the article itself.
Also, even if there are no publications, I'm interested in hearing about
any ongoing projects in these areas of study.
So as not to unnecessarily inundate 5000 inboxes, please be sure to
respond to me off-list. =)
Many thanks in advance to all,
Adrian

Adrian,
I don't have any references to add to your list, but would love to get a
copy of the Bibliography when you are done! What geographic parameters
did you adhere to?

Subject: Suggestions for Chemical Residue Analysis
I am a lab supervisor working with Shannon Dawdy on material from the
New Orleans French Quarter. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions
on how best to approach possible chemical residue analysis.
We have a great deal of ceramic and bottle glass.
What techniques are most recommended to explore the use of
(unglazed) ceramic vessels in historic contexts?
And should the contents of bottles only be analyzed in the cases of
whole specimens or might bottle bases still retain detectable traces in
them?
Thanks

I think you need to find your residue analyst who should advise. This
needs to be done by a specialist not only in organic chemistry but
someone who appreciates the problems of archeological sampling and
chemical change over time. My father as a trainee chemist was taught if
you have to split taking a sample and analysing it between a labourer
and a Phd chemist get the chemist to take the sample and the labourer to
analyse it.

John,
Mary Malaniey has done a lot of research on extracting lipid residues
from prehistoric ceramic artifacts. Here are a couple of links for you:
