How old is 2500 B2K?

Among those are using 1950 as a reference point; or better still, use 2000, cited in the literature as b2k, to segregate it out from radiocarbon dating. A TL date of 2500 b2k would be 2,500 years before 2000, or 500 BCE.

What is the best way to date the age of evidence?

Among those are using 1950 as a reference point; or better still, use 2000, cited in the literature as b2k, to segregate it out from radiocarbon dating.

How many years are there between 1 BC and 1 AD?

There is nothing between 1 BC and 1 AD - as they are consecutive years. Now, 3000 BC came (3000 - 1) years = 2999 years before 1 BC. 1 BC is 1 year before 1 AD. 1 AD is (2020 - 1) years = 2019 years before the current year (2020 AD). Thus, the year 3000 BC came (2999 + 1 + 2019) years = 5019 years before the current year (2020 AD).
