Science - Archaeology / Archaeological digs | | German term or phrase: Fund- und Befunderhaltung | Context:
In diesem Grab sehen wir eine sehr gute Fund- und Befunderhaltung in Bezug auf die Knochen.
I'm thinking along the lines of a simplification to:
In this grave we have very well preserved artefacts and (especially) bones. |

41 mins confidence:  
38 mins confidence: preservation of features and finds
Explanation:
A description of the features found during the excavations and the evolution of the Roman Villa (16-39).
Eine Beschreibung der während der Ausgrabung aufgedeckten Befunde und der Entwicklung der römischen Villa.
Scheinbar wird Befund(e) oft als features übersetzt, wenn Du googlest, kannst Du es so finden. So frage ich mich, ob man die features unterschlagen kann oder eben nicht. Bin übrigens keine Spezialistin auf diesem Gebiet, habe nur etwas recherchiert.

Ja, ich wäre auch nicht darauf gekommen, deshalb habe ich mich ja auch dafür interessiert, auch im Deutschen, was "Befund" hier sein könnte!

1 hr confidence: the bones found in this grave are very well preserved
Explanation:
Since the sentence is "in Bezug auf die Knochen", it's not obvious to me that anything other than the state of the bones is being described (it's not "besonders in Bezug auf die Knochen" - it's just the Knochen by themselves). Poorly expressed in the German, I think - so I'd be with you, David, in trying to simplify the original.

Asker: There are other finds too, such as Grabbeigaben, for example.
