What reading level is The Groundwork of American Archeology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The process of separating the re- cently acquired from autochthonous elements is laborious, and the chances of error numerous. Traditionary episodes, ceremonies, rituals, and symbolism must be subjected to critical analysis. How- ever, there is a valuable residuum of facts of archaic culture result- ing from the sifting.
The study of prehistoric archeology presents less complexity. Definite external surroundings give rise to definite efforts of the human mind to utilize, to overcome, and to acc
...ount for them. The result is certain activities, the dynamic expression of the cultural process. The study of this process in the stage prior to the intru- sion of any foreign elements, in the light of facts which ethnology lends to the interpretation of archaic phenomena, is a field com- paratively free from the necessity of conjecture. The service which prehistoric archeology is capable of rendering to anthropology is comparable with that which paleontology renders to biology.
In the study of the historical development of the native Ameri- can races, it becomes necessary to eradicate all political divisions and to find cultural limits instead.
