Working with dates before 4713 BC

Hi all,

 

I am building an application which requires the storage of dates relating
to
the creation of archaeological items. The problem I am facing is that
although most of the dates are working fine, some of the items were
created
before the beginning of recorded history (4713 BC). 

 

Does anyone have any suggestions for making these dates play nicely with
items created more recently (January 10th, 1968 for example)? My only
other
requirement is that I need to be able to execute SQL queries which can
find
items made before a certain date, after a certain date, or between two
dates.

 

Cheers,

Ryan
