Bonjour,
"The earliest historical records were the work of Plains Indian men who created petroglyphs and pictographic paintings on rock walls. Later, men painted on robes fashioned from buffalo hide, using mineral and vegetal pigments applied with bone and stick drawing implements. The scenes depicted were predominantly of status achievements such as success in battle, hunting, and “counting coup” on enemies, as well as “winter counts”, a form of calendar of the year’s activities."
Merci d'avance.

B D Finch
: Why "constitués de morceaux"? That implies that they were just found objects picked up and used, rather than being worked/shaped.// The word "implements" suggests some sort of fashioning.

that's excatly what "constitués de" means here- there is no idea of assembly at all. It jut means "they use sticks as paintbrushes".
