The shape of the atlantoaxial articulation was found in the archetypal bisphaeroid form appearing only exceptionally in adult humans of the recent population. Articular forms of the other vertebrae were analogical with the recent ones, both as refers to the incidence of the types and their total percentual representation as well as similar position of the spinal segments. The measured size of the angles of the plane of facies terminalis vertebrae and the posterior clivus of processus spinosus have smaller values in most vertebrae of the DV skeletons than in the vertebrae of the recent population.
