Like the article posted last week titled "this is not a place of honor" about making obvious markers on nuclear waste to last 10,000 years...
We may also want to invest in creating some "breadcrumbs" for a future civilization to build up from. Say, a reserve of easily accessible fossil fuel and other raw materials, and some long-lasting guideposts that indicate where to find them.
It is a good question of how much breadcrumbs you would need to jump from the stone age to using whatever accessible resources are left after us.
A lack of accessible fossil fuels is likely to be the major factor as it would be really difficult to get an industrial revolution going without access to the easy energy provided by fossil fuels. We could easily find a rebooted society gets stuck in a pre-industrial state with no way of breaking out.
