To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Arrowheads were made by the fire, few flakes being seen out of doors. Most ordinary aboriginal implements were found. This general mode of elevation reasonably accounts for the form and growth of the Perch lake mounds. A pit was made in the center for the fire, and a large circle was thrown up at the edge of the lodge to carry off water. A slope from this to' the fireplace gave an easy position to the reclining people within. It was necessary to remove or rake the embers away, and the edge grad...ually rose. To make it cleaner it was as easy to bring in a fresh supply of dirt as to carry accumulations away. In all this there was a natural over- flow which enlarged the borders of the mound. The original fire- place was all the time retained, and so the largest mounds are the deepest. Mr Harlan I. Smith suggests a likeness in these to some he recently examined on the Pacific coast, and I give plate 10, figure I, to illus- trate this point. In his explorations he found that up to a recent date the Thompson river Indians made huts of this kind.
