"A Matter of Traces" is a short story by science fiction author Frank Herbert which first appeared in ''Fantastic Universe'' magazine in November 1958 and later in Herbert’s 1985 short story collection ''Eye''. It is notable for being the first story to mention Herbert's ConSentiency universe, one of his three elaborate universes or franchises spanning multiple volumes (the others being the ''Dune'' universe and the ''Destination: Void'' universe developed with co-author Bill Ransom). ==Plot== This story takes place in the distant future on the planet Aspidiske VII. A meeting of the "Special Subcommittee on Intergalactic Culture" is called to investigate the possibility of excessive wastefulness on the part of the "Historical Preservation Teams of the Bureau of Cultural Affairs". Secretary Hablar comes to present a sample of the work being done by the Historical Preservation Team. The sample he submits is an interview with one of the few surviving pioneers of the planet Gomeisa III. He is an old man named Hilmot Gustin. During the course of the interview it is learned that Hilmont was the inventor of the rollitor, a plow harness for an alien life form native to the planet, and also the man who discovered what swamp cream does for the complexion. When the interview is finished the meeting is adjourned until the following day.
