<p>When M. R. Harrington, an archaeologist from the Museum of the American Indian, began to excavate the ruins (he named) the Pueblo Grande de Nevada, (he unearthed) artifacts indicating a 500-year occupation by indigenous peoples. No error </p>

<p>There is no error.</p>

<p>But doesn't "HE NAMED" have to be "HAD NAMED" because the naming took place before he unearthed the artifacts?</p>

<p>You do not know for sure when he named the ruins. Therefore "he named" is perfectly valid.</p>

<p>it's a modifier</p>
