Use when executing and reporting the analysis/interpretation for a Current Anthropology (CA) manuscript so it survives expert review and the published CA✩ Comments — disciplined ethnographic/qualitative inference, honest interpretation, and (for biological/archaeological work) sound quantitative analysis. Guides analysis and interpretation norms; it does not fabricate evidence or quotations.

# Analysis & Interpretation (curranthro-data-analysis)

CA reviewers and commentators are expert and read across every subfield, so the same results may be read
by an ethnographer, an archaeologist, and a bioanthropologist at once — and for a Major Article, their
critiques are **published as signed Comments** beside your paper. At CA, **interpretation is analysis**:
qualitative inference is held to a real standard, not waved through as "context." This skill covers
execution and reporting norms; design decisions live in `curranthro-research-design`.

## When to trigger

- Building the results/interpretation section from fieldnotes, transcripts, material, or measurements
- A reviewer (or anticipated commentator) asked for more evidence, alternative readings, or robustness
- Reconciling what interlocutors say with what they do, or pre-planned vs. emergent themes
- Making the analysis transparent enough to be credible without exposing protected sources
