Archaeology / prehistory, necropolis | | Spanish term or phrase: conjuntos cerrados | Desgraciadamente la mayoría de las necrópolis fueron excavadas en las primeras décadas del s. XX por lo que los registros son malos y los conjuntos cerrados que han llegado hasta nosotros son, lamentablemente, muy pocos.

142 days confidence: sealed/unexcavated tombs
Explanation:
The entire necropolis is one archaeological site; "conjuntos cerrados" refers to the burials in that site that remain intact. To imply a lack of looting, "sealed tombs" could be used. However, if the author is referring specifically to a lack of archaeological activity, "unexcavated tombs" may be more appropriate.
