A grave or place in the ground where one person or a group was buried, often studied by archaeologists.

هم‌معنی‌ها
grave (More general; used in everyday language, not only in archaeology, and can mean the place rather than the archaeological feature.) | tomb (Often suggests a larger or more impressive structure, especially for important people.)
متضادها
cremation (In archaeological and historical discussions, refers to treatment of the body by burning instead of placing it in a grave or burial feature.)
