What reading level is The Incas And Their Industries book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The first results are not very good, but they are a great advance towards the later elaborate designs.
Many of the jars found in the coastal region have a bifurcated spout, which is in fact a distinctive mark of the coast 'pottery. These jars are also very simple, but even here one finds a small animal sitting in the angle of the spout ; it shows how, even in those early days, they loved to ornament everything. / It has been thought that the more intricate spouts were thus made 22 THE INCAS AND... THEIR INDUSTRIES for fear of creeping animals finding their way into the jars, and also for the purpose of stopping evaporation. This coast pottery appears to have led to an alteration of the form of the jar from the flat or round- bottomed to the point-footed shape, as many have been found in this form. As the Peruvians were usually squatting on the ground, nearly all jars repre- senting human figures have this form, and even the mummies have a similar attitude. It is probable that the native, when resting, had such jar filled with some beverage before him, to quench his thirst, and as the coast region was all sand, a point-footed jar would stand even better than a flat-bottomed one.
