What about:
Here be dragons/dinosaurs/other lifeforms made out of stone that get chucked out of finds trays
The really old human bit when they'd found lots of sharp stones
Another really old bit but with big monuments with nothing much in them
A long blank bit while they were building all those roundhouses
The Roman bit with some finds at last
Another blank bit but with lots of gold and garnet bling for the treasure hunters
1066 and all that
The bit when they threw away lots of clay pipes
The bit your grandad can remember through rose-tinted spectacles
The slightly grubbier bit we can remember, with loads of crisp packets and beer cans
(some older contributors may have an advantage with the last two!)
....seems to fit in pretty well with the purely archaeological evidence :face-approve:
