Some 9,000 years ago, dark-skinned, blue-eyed hunter-gatherers roamed our forests and plains. Thousands of years later, a new wave of settlers washed into Europe from the Middle East and Mediterranean, bringing with them a dynamic new technology - farming.

Her discovery gives an astonishing insight into the culture and beliefs of the people of western Europe around 3000 BC.
