English term or phrase: unlined graves with little use of crashed chalk
the 94% of the burials were unlined graves with little use of crashed chalk and mortared floors; only nine burials had stonelined graves.

fosas/tumbas no forradas con poco uso de cal en polvo
Explanation:
Estas tumbas son tan simples que no merecen el nombre - por eso tal vez "fosa" sea mejor.

Creo que "cal en polvo" es más apropiado que "cal triturada".
