BP (年代測定)
Wikipedia definition
1. Before PresentBefore Present (BP) years is a time scale used in archaeology, geology, and other scientific disciplines to specify when events in the past occurred. Because the "present" time changes, standard practice is to use 1 January 1950 AD as the origin of the age scale, reflecting the fact that radiocarbon dating became practicable in the 1950s. The abbreviation "BP" has also been interpreted to mean Before Physics.
