Leaving_traces [dependency]
A piece of Evidence indicates that an Event occured, or metonymically, Entity had formerly existed, in a Location. The Evidence consists of physical changes to the Location that resulted from the Event. Some LUs of this frame are general (trace.n) while others specifically involve evidence of motion (trail.n, track.n, wake.n, contrail.n) or existence (vestige.n).
