Using field surveys, remote sens- ing, and GIS analysis (Standard Deviation Ellipse method), we documented 185 funerary structures, primarily circular, rectangular, and ogival. Statistical analyses in R identified significant clustering related to cultural and environmental factors. Integrating these spatial indicators with geometric measurements in a random forest model significantly improved morphological classification accuracy. The results highlight the importance of spatial context in interpreting burial practices and provide a predictive framework for locating additional burial sites.Attribution 4.0 International LicenseCCS Concepts: Computing methodologies → Machine learning; Information systems → Geographic information systems; Applied computing → ArchaeologyComputing methodologies → Machine learningInformation systems → Geographic information systemsApplied computing → Archaeology10.2312/dh.202532324 pages
