Archaeology displays show a variety of objects used by local people over the centuries, including Neolithic flint tools for hunting, and Iron Age currency bars for trading. From Roman Britain there are household objects found inside Roman villas, together with discoveries from a large Romano-British cemetery.
As well as local material there are ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman objects. Many of these were brought to Cheltenham by local travellers earlier this century. They include the foot of an Egyptian mummy and a shell-encrusted Greek vase.
