Research in this field can be helpful, as it adds an opportunities to substantiate the results of craniofacial identification. Rare signs are the most important for identification, however for reliable identification it is best of all to use not separate rare signs, but their combinations. The aim of this work was to reveal a set of attributes considered rare variants and pick up certain rare combination and the corresponding types of faces and sculls. This path can be a justification for the statistical evaluation of craniofacial identification. To achieve this goal we have analyzed the data of anthropological studies conducted in Belarus. Given the initial results, we carried out independent research. Some results are based on statistical data compiled on one million observations. According to the results of the analysis of values of the separate sizes were calculated, and also combinations of signs with various frequency of occurrence are allocated. The greatest attention was paid to release sets of rare signs and types of faces/sculls corresponding to them. Then comparison received for types of persons and skulls, therefore the general tendencies were revealed. This study is part of a larger work on the development of algorithms for habitoscopy and craniofacial identification . The results obtained can be used in the preliminary selection of objects for comparison and as a complement to photo superposition method to confirm the results of craniofacial identification.
