For measures 04-07, which pertain to characteristics of the program graduates, data are presented for all but 10 of the programs; the others had too few graduates on which to base statistics.4 For measure 12, a composite index of the size of a university library, data data from the NRC's Survey of Earned Doctorates indicate that 1,965 research doctorates in anthropology and 137 in archaeology were awarded by U.S. universities between FY1976 and FY1980.

To assist the reader in interpreting results of the survey evaluations, estimated standard errors have been computed for mean ratings of the scholarly quality of faculty in 70 anthropology programs (and are given in Table 3.1~.

From page 35... ... 35 apparent that one should have somewhat more confidence in the accuracy of the mean ratings of higher-rated programs than lower-rated programs.
