Social Sciences - Archaeology
English term or phrase: high-status
Judging from a topographical survey of the ridge surrounding the excavated area, and from metal-detector finds recovered from the surrounding fields, the Skamby cemetery appears to be a **high-status** burial ground divided into two zones, one comprised of boat inhumation graves, the other of circular stone settings likely to cover cremation graves.

bedeutend / angesehen


Explanation:
In my opinion, high-status sounds rather strange here, but I guess it means that it was of special significance.
Or perhaps it means prestigious - für angesehene Persönlichkeiten?

Example sentence(s):
  • Clearly we have here a high status burial ground, perhaps not for kings, but for the tribal elite, including specialists such as warriors and physicians.
