What reading level is The Mound Builders: Their Works And Relics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A graded way from the top of the hill to the level land below connects the cir cle above with an oval enclosure, whose greatest diameter is 1500 feet. Near this oval is an earth circle, 300 feet in diameter, and in the circle a small mound. At the foot of the graded way is another small circle, enclosing a burial mound and a group of altar mounds, around each of which is a circular wall. Here, then, we have the same symbol as at Portsmouth a conical mound inside of a circular enclosure, and wha...t is more the mound has proved, after excavation, to contain an altar and relics upon the altar, thus confirming the thought that this was a symbol of the sun.
The works at Cedar Banks suggest the same combination. This work is situated upon a table-land. It consists of a square enclosure, 1400 feet wide, 1050 feet in length, with tMo gateways 60 feet wide, and an elevated platform 250 feet long, 150 feet broad and 4 feet high, which is ascended from the ends by graded ways 30 feet broad, and in all respects resemble the truncated pyramids at Marietta.
