Does anyone know where archeologists come up with these names?

I mean they didn’t find a sign written in Sinagua, saying, “Welcome to Tuzigoot—the dried root and berry capital of the world”

Sinagua was a name given by the first Spanish explorers.

Sin = without
Agua = water

Once you explore the area, you wonder how these ancient people ever survived the harsh environment. Mind-blowing!
