“…The research reported here reveals the past, makes that past relevant to a diverse range of audiences in the present, and provides plentiful evidence for why these resources require protection and sensitive management into the future. Industrial archaeologists have increasingly recorded the declining traditional industries in human as well as material terms (Badcock and Malaws 2004;Shackel 2004), whilst being aware of how what we do has an impact on collective memory (Barthel 1996).

Using the evidence and arguments presented here from Amache, Monticello, and Kooskia, and combining this with experiences from elsewhere, not only in North America, but also Europe and the Pacific, it is possible to discern some significant patterns that frame archaeological research on these types of sites. The reflections here can be articulated under a series of four headings: coping strategies during internment; remembering, forgetting, and coping in peacetime; archaeology, oral history, and remembering ; and archaeology and embodying the internment experience. Larger issues come out of the particular, when the biographies of places, families, and individuals relating to internment are examined. This is how I have explored internments on the Isle of Man in both World Wars (Mytum 2011, 2012, 2013b), as the scholars here are examining distinctive forms of imprisonment during World War II in the United States in their chosen locations for study.
