What reading level is The Ruined Cities of Mashonaland Being a Record of Excavation And Exploration book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Selous first visited this valley on one of his hunting expeditions in 1883, he found it quite un- inhabited, whereas now there are many villages, an apt illustration of the migratory tendencies of these NATIVE BOWL FROM THE MAZOE VALLEY FORT SALISBURY AND THE MAZOE VALLEY 287 tribes. They are quite different in type to the Maka- langas, and, I should say, distinctly inferior in phy- sique. They build their huts differently, with long eaves cominor rioht down to the scround. Their granaries are ...fatter and lower, and made of branches instead of mud, these two facts pointing distinctly to a tribal variation. They wear their hair in long strings over their face, one on each side of the nose, and the others hanging on their cheeks, giving them quite a sphinx-like ap2:)earance. These strings are adorned with beads and cowrie-shells, and must form the most uncomfortable style of coiffure that ever was invented. They have magnificent bowls of hand- made pottery, decorated with chevron patterns in red and black, which colours they obtain from hematite and plumbago ; and on all advantageous spots near the villages are platforms raised on stakes for drying grain.
