BP is Before Present. So 8000-9000 BP is roughly 6000-7000 BC. At least that is better on my eyes than the screwy BCE that some pc scholars have used.

Its PC talk for "Before Christ", lefties can't handle our calender starting with Christ.

Yes, since this is the year of Our Lord Jesus Christ 2005, he's trying to say circa 7,000 to 6,000 before Christ.
