2. Science is build with facts just as a house is built with bricks, but a collection of facts cannot be called science any more than a pile of bricks can be called a house.

该句子主干是 The Native Americans of northern California were highly skilled at basketry,后面是现在分词短语作方式状语,其中they found around them 是省略了引导词的定语从句,修饰前头几个名词,最后列举的物品用not only but 来连接,省略also。
