Spanish term or phrase:cal ANE / cal BC
These are prehistoric dates but I am not sure how to put them in English. I believe that cal BC stays the same in English (correct?), but I have no idea about cal ANE. Here are some examples:
1550/1500 – 1300/1250 cal BC
2300/2200 – 1550/1500 cal. ANE
Existen dos grandes etapas en la trayectoria de la sociedad argárica, con una inflexión entorno a 1800 cal BC (Castro et al 1993-94), comportando cambios que repercutirían en muchas comunidades levantinas.
A partir de 1800 cal BC se consolidó la herencia, expresada en tumbas infantiles con ajuares normativos de categoría alta.
etc...
Any ideas? Could it simply be: cal AD (I got some hits in google)?
I haven't been able to deduce waht A N E refer to, but will continue looking:-)
1. Dates before Christ (also "before the common era") should be written "B.C." following the year (e.g., 1250 B.C.). Dates after Christ ("after the common era") should be written "A.D." preceding the year (e.g., A.D. 1066), but write "4th century A.D." For early prehistory, calendar years may also be indicated by "years ago" (e.g., 125,000 years ago) or "kya" for "thousands of years ago." ****Radiocarbon years should be indicated by using lower case "b.c.," "a.d.," or "b.p." (where "before present" means "before A.D. 1950"), but these conventions must be specified at the point where they first appear in the abstract and in the text: "1250 b.c. (uncalibrated radiocarbon years)" or "3200 b.p. (uncalibrated radiocarbon years before A.D. 1950)." ****When radiocarbon dates have been calibrated to calendar years, use "cal B.C.," "cal A.D.," or "cal B.P." where "present" refers to the present day.

BP = BEFORE PRESENT
Cal AD = Calendrier années réelles = Dates calibrées AP. J.C. à 1, 2 ou 3 sigma
= Intervalles de dates calibrées AP. J.C. à 1, 2 ou 3 sigma
Cal BC = Calendrier années réelles = Date calibrée AV. J.C. à 1, 2 ou 3 sigma
= Intervalles de dates calibrées AV. J.C. à 1, 2 ou 3 sigma
Cal AD / BC = Calendrier années réelles = Dates calibrées AV. / AP. J.C. à 1, 2 ou 3 sigma
= Intervalles de dates calibrées AV. / AP. J.C. à 1, 2 ou 3 sigma
BP = Before Present = Age 14C BP conventionnel.
Cal BP = Calendrier radiocarbone = Date en année radiocarbone dont l'origine du calendrier est l'année 1950 du calendrier années réelles.
Une date exprimée en Cal BP est une date radiocarbone calibrée dont il faut enlever la valeur 1950 pour trouver son "équivalent" sur le calendrier années réelles AV ou AP J.C.

ISBN 1841715298. £35.00. iv+245 pages; 16 b/w plates; 24 figures, drawings, tables and maps.
This book focuses upon the bio-archaeological study of the human remains recovered in a Prehistoric cave cemetery from Menorca (Balearic Islands, Spain) dated between 1450/1400 - 800 cal BC*****. Its research has benefited from methods and techniques developed by several disciplines (including human osteology, biological anthropology, forensics and paleopathology) in order to explore previously formulated hypothesis related to six major aspects: 1.) funerary practice; 2.) demography; 3.) biological variation; 4.) diet; 5.) health and morbidity; 6.) main trend activities and 7.) social distance. http://www.archaeopress.com/searchBar.asp?title=Categories&i...

Wow! Many, many thanks for your work - you deserve a doctorate... (PS thanks for the cllarification note, your explanation was beginning to get almost as complicated as the text I'm working on :-) ) 4 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer
Just to confirm: cal ANE = cal BP and cal BC = cal BC

So, ANE = BP (before present)

Wow! Many, many thanks for your work - you deserve a doctorate... (PS thanks for the cllarification note, your explanation was beginning to get almost as complicated as the text I'm working on :-) )
Explanation: BOE = before our era (politically correct for BC)
'cal BC' AND 'cal bc' are technically different (compensated - non compensated)
SISTEMAS DE CRONOLOGÍA ABSOLUTA
Son métodos que dan fechas absolutas. Son más modernos que los de cronología relativa y se desarrollaron a partir de la II Guerra Mundial. Hasta la década de 1950 no se habían desarrollado sistemas para determinar fechas, pero se tenía todo ordenado. Las fechas se pueden dar conforme a dos referencias:
Respecto al nacimiento de Cristo (a.C.). Científicamente se escribe b.c. ó B.C. (before Christ). (b.c. -sin calibrar-; B.C. -calibrado-).
