Archaeologist Julian Richards profiles ancient forebears using modern forensic techniques.

Last summer the skeletons of a woman and three young children were uncovered at a newly discovered stone-age temple in Dorset. The bones and teeth reveal the extraordinary tale of these Neolithic wanderers who may have made the ultimate sacrifice over 5,000 years ago.
