peer agreement (net): +2dendrodating/(d) Explanation: I assume that you know the English word and you're just asking about the abbreviation. 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. Example sentence(s):
Reference: http://books.google.co.uk/books?isbn=1782972803 Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrochronology |

| Reference Reference information: If radio-carbon dating is being used, you could use one of the following abbreviations: 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". http://archaeology.about.com/b/2008/07/09/faq-what-does-cal-... |
