Definition: In the mid 1970s, British archaeologist Susan Shennan conducted excavations at Unétice cemetery at Branč, a cemetery dated to the early Bronze Age period (ca. 2000 BC) of Hungary. She discovered differences within the graves along gender, age, and wealth, and in so doing made substantial contributions to the identification of social ranking, an important theoretical area in modern archaeology.
