Declining flint industry - a concept formulated in Polish literature for the first time in 1987 - includes industries from the Bronze Age and later periods, separated from a clear standardisation of the Stone Age. Adopted by other researchers, it replaced the term “Early Bronze Age flint industry” when it turned out that the evidences were much later than the beginning of the Bronze Age. Significant progress observed in studies of the declining flint industry allowed to specify the flint production of such cultures as Mierzanowice and Trzciniec. An essential contribution to this subject are studies of the Lusatian Culture conducted under this aspect. For some time, finds of ceramics of the otomani Culture from the older period of the Bronze Age (also known as Otomani--Fuzesabony) are known from Polish lands, specifically from the Polish Western Carpathians. During the excavations at Czchów, a small inventory of stone implements was discovered in a pit with late otomani pottery. Among the artefacts a small flake point was recognised, characterised by saw-like retouched edges and an asymmetrically located bulb. It is easily seen that the above definition of this type is based on small series. on the other hand the repeatability of very original technical procedures and a method of retouching, justified a necessity of description of the forms. The hope can be expressed that the series of such points will rapidly increase, particularly in the case of samples coming from the original territorial range of the otomani Culture.
