Identification and classification of burials in the NW region of Argentina have been recently planned to study the funeral practices during the periods in which the archaeological sites developed. In this context, we theoretically evaluate the GPR and EMI geophysical methods to detect these kinds of burials. Numerical simulations with both methods are performed for different characteristic soils.
