Conte or 'Continuity' are also known as Storyboards. They are sheets of paper with two rows of boxes running down them. In the smaller box, a very rough sketch of a shot or scene is drawn. In the longer box, notes about filming and general flow are written. Copies of these are made and distributed so that scenes can be determined into cuts and turned into genga and eventually cels. Often these are drawn by the animation director or the head director.
The production copies are often seen for sale, especially at Mandarake. The originals are sometimes for sale as well.
I've also seen 'Conte' refer to settei (model) sheets.
