[Various (1967)] The discovery establishes-and Coe leaves no doubt that he intends it to establish-that the craftsmen of any given community at any given time were not making a diversity or "hodgepodge" of projectile point styles, but were working to the specifications of a single design idea. Thus, if a projectile point is defined-as may be any other artifact-as an assemblage of desired components in concrete, material form, then the Coe discovery (call it Coe's Axiom, since it has been corroborated) means that any given community of flintsmiths assembled these components according to the same technological process, following the same chipping order and strategy, within the limitations of individual skill and material. If this is true, then the flintsmiths of any given generation handed down to the next generation only that form and method of achieving it that they knew, or at least were accustomed to using. This is what constitutes a tradition by definition. What a tradition is in projectile points in no wise differs from what it is in myth or art or potterymaking. It is a practice, a theme, a style, a method handed from generation to generation by instruction and example.
