Spanish term or phrase: monticular y buzante,
Los hornos estaban excavados parcialmente sobre la tierra virgen, y, a sus espaldas, como era de esperar, se detectaron acumulaciones de cerámica desechada procedente de aquéllos. Tenían una forma estratificada, monticular y buzante, que evidenciaba un proceso de barrido homogéneo desde los hornos, quizás en una única tanda.

mound-like and sloping
Explanation:
Aunque la palabra monticular no se encuentra en el diccionario de la Real Academia de Español, podrías utilizar mound-like /mound shaped, hillock-like/ hillock shaped, hump-like/hump-shaped en tu traducción.
En cuanto a buzante, es un término demasiado técnico y de difícil adquisición, pero dado el significado de "buzar" (es decir, inclinar hacia abajo), una buena opción podría ser "sloping" o "falling" o incluso "decreasing" (o sea, cualquier adjetivo proveniente de un verbo que indique movimiento hacia abajo).
