#Flint

Through the long stone age
Chipping, knapping, shaping,
Stones to tools to life.

#Bronze

Ages one, two, three.
Long stone years, stratigraphy
(Copper?) Bronze. Iron.

#Residue

We leave a residue
Whatever and wherever
Never without trace

#Shell

Around fish or fowl,
Dumped in middens when done,
Still contains, stories.

Slowly ground, mixed, held.
Blown, scattered, dabbed, spread, painted.
Pigment brought life.
