The hall featured primarily archeological specimens from North America, including pottery, arrowheads and stone and bone implements found largely from burial grounds and were arranged and exhibited by present-day geographical region. European stone implements were displayed in the tower room along with carvings from cultures of Southern Europe as well as copies of paintings from the cave walls of Altamira and Font-de-Gaume (2, 1913, p. 50).
The hall also included various skulls from modern humans and a comparative historical series showing the development of the human race and a miniature group depicting Neolithic Denmark (2, 1918, p. 45; AR 1934 p. 10). A more extensive related exhibit of fossil humans, the Early Races of Man, was shown in Age of Man Hall on the fourth floor (2, 1928, p. 52). The tower room later featured a synoptic display collection from the Near East (2, 1962, p. 24-25).
