The 8th BRB says Isle of Dead and Caledor's ritual were -4460 to -4420 (p.174)

You stumbled upon something interesting. I took a good look at the older High Elf armybooks: the reign of Aenarion began - 4500 IC and ended in - 4920 IC (this is an obvious mistake, the GW writers simply forgot to count backwards). The latest High Elf armybook has the correct dates: - 4500 IC to -4420 IC. Caledor began repairing the geomatic network in 40th year of Aenarions reign (i.e.: - 4460 IC) and he and the other mages casted the spell during the Battle of the Isle of the Dead in - 4421 IC (79th year of Aenarion's reign). Afterwards the High Elf princes took a year to decide upon a new king (this even became a High Elf tradition: between the death of a king and the crowning of a new one a year passes and it is counted under the reign of the old one).
