Five years after their bodies were discovered, 'nobody' is funding research on the Sugar Land 95.
Principal Research Group members Helen Graham, Abigail Eve Fisher and Catrina Banks Whitley stand with Bill Martin , an archaeologist at the Texas Historical Commission.
This gave us pause. Of the four original members of Principal Research Group, Graham is the only Black person and the only one local to the area.
We walked away from that conversation with more questions than answers. Why would PRG be involved and — as far as we could tell — in charge of the Sugar Land 95 research if they weren’t funding it and, for the most part, weren’t doing it? “PRG does not own the remains,” Riegert Cummings said. “They do not have control. …They don't have, like, a non-compete here. You can't do that, no. They're human beings.”
Emails between PRG and the UConn researchers obtained under the Freedom of Information Act showed that, near the end of 2020 — after the project had been stalled for about a year — Archer applied for a prestigious anthropology grant from the Wenner-Gren Foundation and got it. She planned to use that funding for her research on the Sugar Land 95, along with another recently uncovered historic cemetery in Austin. But when PRG heard the news, the group didn’t take it well.
