Dendrodatierung/(d)
ich suche nach einer englischen Abkürzung oder anderen möglichst kurzen (!) Formulierung für "Dendrodatierung".
Mein Originalsatz befasst sich mit der Bestimmung des Alters von Bauhölzer. Anhand der Hölzer wurde bestimmt, wie alt das Gebäude ist. Im Deutschen wird das mit einem kurzen (d) nach der Jahreszahl markiert.
Original: Bei Errichtung des bestehenden zweigeschossigen Backsteinhauses 1452 **(d)** wurden dieser Flügelbau sowie ein westlich angrenzender älterer Fachwerkbau an der XYZstraße integriert.
Herzlichen Dank!

Whether you use one depends on how often the word crops up. If this is the only occurrence, I'd say "dendrodated to 1452". If it appears multiple times, you can abbreviate it in the same way as the German has, provided you make it clear what the abbreviation means.
Two trunks lying in the more northerly of the braided channels linking the mill dam to the caisson bridge were dendrodated with estimated felling dates of AD 1040

The term "cal BP" is the abbreviation for "calibrated years before the present" or "calendar years before the present" and what that is references the fact that archaeologists have discovered wiggles in the radiocarbon curve which produces usable dating. Adjustments to that curve to correct for the wiggles ("wiggles" really is the scientific term used by the researchers) to are called calibrations. The designations cal BP, cal BC and cal AD all signify that the radiocarbon date mentioned has been calibrated to account for those wiggles; dates which have not be adjusted are designated as RCYBP " radiocarbon years before the present".

: It's not about radiocarbon dating.
