What reading level is On the Prehistoric Remains of Kentucky book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here axes — and under this head are included scrapers of the chisel shape — are almost universally made of some variety of greenstone, scarcely ever of flint ; whilst in Europe this latter material seems to have been a favorite for all forms that did not require perforation.! Out of quite a large collection of these tools belonging to the Kentucky Geological Sur- vey, there is but one single specimen of flint, and that is so exceedingly rude that but for the notch on each side near the head, to... hold the handle, instead of the usual groove around the head, it would pass very well for a representative of the palaeolithic age. As might have been expected, these tools vaiy greatly in size. Of the method of hafting and using them, Adair t thus speaks: "The Indians formerly had stone axes, which in form commonly resembled a smith's chisel. Each weighed from one to two or three pounds' weight. They were made of a flinty kind of stone : I have seen several, which chanced to escape being buried with their owners, and Avere carefully preserved by the old people, as respectable remains of antiquity.
