What reading level is Prehistoric Objects From a Shell Heap At Erin Bay Trinidad book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The degree of conventionalization in these specimens is some- times very great, as in plate xv, /, where practically all resemblance to a head is lost. Here we have a disk attached by one margin to the rim of a bowl, which is ornamented with a rude incised design. A handle distantly related to the last is illustrated in plate xvi, a.
It often happens that the walls of the orifice of a flask-shaped bottle are modified into a perforated clay head, 1 as in the specimens shown in plate xvi, a, b, c....
Plate xvi, b, c, d, e, show varying forms of effigy heads which served as handles of vessels. All of them have well developed nostrils, eyes, and other facial features. The presence of nostrils differentiates these heads from many others and affords a hint, although obscure, as to the identity of the animal designed to be represented. We find similar nostrils in certain three-pointed stone idols from Porto Rico, which we have other good reasons to identify as reptiles, hence the conclusion is fairly logical that these heads were intended to represent similar creatures.
