The Forerunner are humans. The giant relic, if you will, found in the ground near new mombosa does not appear to be of human engineering of the Halo 2 and Halo 3 period. I think the trailer is hinting toward the human past as the forerunner, I believe Cortana plays a major role in this relevation. "I know you, your past, your future," I believe she discovers an ancient manuscript or message left behind by the "Forerunner". While certainly a stretch I thought of the storyline in Halo 1, which involves Cortana (with a fairly indepth understanding of human civilization and all that it entails) continously coming to realizations and making discoveries before the covenant. Perhaps indicating a similar mindsite of her programers and those who designed and constructed the halo rings and all other known forerunner technologies.
