What reading level is Prehistoric North America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ancient villages discovered by Vancouver in KupreanofT island were situated on the summit of a precipice, or steep insular rock, rendered by nature almost inaccessible. These positions, in addition to their natural advantages, were strongly forti fied with a platform of wood on the most elevated part of the rock, and projecting so far at its sides as to overhang them. The edge of the platform was barricaded with logs of wood placed one on another. (Volume II, 396. ) In some instances houses wer...e placed on high posts in the margin of the sea. It is probable that the principal object in view in forming these fortifications was to enable the women and the few men, mostly old, who remained at home while the others were on fishing or hunting excur sions, to defend themselves against the sudden attacks of enemies. At any rate, they throw a ray of light on the prehistoric times of this section.
We have proceeded on the supposition that the first colo nies were established on the coast, yet it is possible, and indeed probable, if Bering Strait was the point of entry, that when migration began there were two lines of movement, one southward along the coast, and the other, possibly the larger, more inland, behind, that is, east of the mountain 7 8 PREHISTORIC NORTH AMERICA range.
