and so, if we look back through human history, what we see is humanity struggling to make sense of this. some of the earliest archaeological evidence we find of human development is grave goods, for example, suggesting people very early believed in an afterlife. the oldest work of human literature, the epic of gilgamesh, is about the quest for immortality and wrestling to come to terms with mortality. of course, we have religions and cultural artefacts that are ways of projecting ourselves into the future. of course, we try very hard to stay alive in this world. right. so what you are saying is that we are trying to make sense of our own mortality, but we're also sort of wrestling against it, trying somehow or other to find a recipe to avoid it, to avert this ultimate finish? yeah. there are lots of ways in which we can come to terms with mortality.

like an ice cream cone. a really nice find. it's just one of an array of artefacts, from fragments of pottery, perhaps from north africa, to a tiny carved peg. this little object is manufactured from animal bone. could be a peg forfora gaming board. it suggests people were coming to the cemetery to meet up — the living and the dead existing together. they are burying their dead, but they're also undertaking other forms of activity and social practice, including eating and drinking and feasting. the items unearthed in the cemetery suggest that the people were of a high status. the next step is to work out exactly who they were. archaeologists hope their excavation will reveal much more about the mediaeval way of life that's remained an enigma for so long. rebecca morelle, bbc news, cardiff. that is it for the moment. thank you for watching us.
