The Archaeology of Craven is given pride of place, with artefacts from the palaeolithic period through to the modern era on display.  Artefacts and finds from Elbolton Cave in Wharfedale and Victoria cave are on view, as well as a glimpse of the rich lithics collections and other artefacts of interest.
