curranthro-tables-figures

Use when building exhibits for a Current Anthropology (CA) manuscript — photographs, maps, site plans, artifact images, kinship diagrams, transcripts, and evidence tables — so they are self-contained, ethically cleared (consent, permissions, heritage), within CA's figure caps, and submitted in the right file formats. Designs exhibits; it does not run analysis or clear permissions for you.

# Tables, Figures & Exhibits (curranthro-tables-figures)

At CA, exhibits do more than display numbers — a photograph, a map, a site plan, a kinship chart, or an
artifact plate can *carry* the argument across all subfields. They also carry **ethical and rights
obligations** that other fields' charts do not, and they are governed by CA's **per-type figure caps**
and **file-format rules** (figures submitted as separate TIFF or EPS files, not embedded PDFs). For a
Major Article under the **CA✩ Treatment**, an unclear or ethically problematic exhibit becomes a target
for published Comment — design exhibits that strengthen the argument and withstand scrutiny.

## When to trigger

- Designing the key photograph, map, site plan, artifact image, kinship/network diagram, or table
- Preparing a transcript or evidence table linking claims to sources
- Checking your figure/table count against the article-type cap
