35 (D-96) The Sinagua were a pre-Columbian cultural group living in an area in central Arizona between the Little Colorado River and the Salt River (between Flagstaff and Phoenix). They lived there between approximately 500 AD and 1425 AD. Sinagua comes from the Spanish words sin meaning "without" and agua meaning "water", referring to the name originally given to the San Francisco Peaks by Spanish explorers. These mountains near Flagstaff, Arizona, are called the "Sierra Sin Agua". Several Hopi clans trace their roots to immigrants from the Sinagua culture.
Along The Island Trail in Walnut Canyon, you can see 25 cliff dwelling rooms. More are visible across the canyon. A typical room was perhaps for one family and perhaps it measured approximately two meters high, six meters long and three meters deep. The Sinagua left these dwellings about 700 years ago.

After a date, what do these letters "AD" stand for? What do the letters "BC" stand for? ("to stand for" = "to mean")
What is the meaning of "BCE"?
