Abstract: Abstract The finesse and the communicativeness of papers in the physical anthropology Journals using multivariate techniques have improved quite a lot over the last ten or fifteen years. The best are excellent and it is not my intention here to write a jeremiad decrying the remaining shortcomings of the weakest papers. Still, there is value in reminding ourselves of some criteria of success in data analysis that are simple and familiar but which constantly need re-emphasis.
