This thesis is the product of a recent study of Schoenbrunn Village, Ohio utilizing Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR). In an effort to expand what is presently known about the settlement, parts of the site around the reconstructed cabins were covered with GPR and the anomalies found were analyzed and classified by category.

The GPR data collected proves that the present reconstruction of Schoenbrunn is unquestionably in the right location. The cemetery is confirmed and several GPR anomalies located in line with and near the reconstructed cabins are interpreted as possible living spaces. Also, Anonymous’ (1952) assertions that the Indian houses were smaller than the reconstructed cabins and were not uniformly located on the street line in the middle of each lot are confirmed. Archaeological excavation is recommended in order to verify the nature of the anomalies and to further understand the historical significance of this site.
