A spatular bone point (MAK/3751) found accidentally in the village of Litwinki near Kobryn in Polesie (present-day Belarus) has been preserved in the collection of the Archaeological Museum in Kraków. In 1880, the point from Litwinki was purchased by the Academy of Arts and Sciences from Podczaszyński’s heirs and included into the collection of the then Archaeological Museum of the Academy of Learning (present-day Archaeological Museum in Kraków), where it has remained until today. The point from Litwinki represents forms known and described in literature as the so called Pentekinnen type points. Location of the find outside the narrow zone within which those forms were widespread makes it, besides a similar find from Göttin in Brandenburg, an indicator of the south - western boundary of the region where the Pentekinnen type points occurred. Collected analogies, results of raw material analysis and location of the point imply the possibility of dating it to the period of Younger Dryas and connections with the Swiderian tradition occurring at the time in western Polesie.
