What reading level is Types of Prehistoric Southwestern Architecture book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In ancient Greece we find the temples of Cecrops, the ancient deity of Athens, on an Acropolis, and tow ering above Corinth is the Acrocorinth. Towers almost identical with those of Colorado occur in dif ferent localities in Europe. We find them, for exam ple, in Ireland, in Spain, in Sardinia, and in Corsica, where they have received a different name, but are always associated with the very earliest inhabitants of those localities. In Peru we find the problematical chulpas. The function of the...se towers in both the Old and the New World has been a bone of contention among archeologists. The best explanation that has been advanced for Old World towers is that they are defensive and religious structures; the towers of the New World may have had a similar use, as they are alike in form. In other words, we may suppose that they also are religious structures, but we can add in support of that theory evidence not available in Europe, for we find that the form of the tower is iden tical with that of the sacred room or kiva, and that it has survived to the present time as a special chamber for worship.
