Description
The Honor Frost Foundation’s Small Grants programme supports maritime archaeology through two broad categories: Regional Research and Developing the Discipline. Regional Research focuses on the eastern Mediterranean, particularly countries where Honor Frost worked. Developing the Discipline supports new technologies and methodologies for maritime archaeology and underwater cultural heritage globally, with exceptional consideration for research beyond the region aligned with Frost’s research interests.
Projects should demonstrate originality and significance for understanding and protecting maritime archaeology and, where possible, contribute to local and regional training and capacity development. The Foundation gives preference to strong regional partnerships, particularly those offering local training. Research priorities include conservation, marine geophysics, geoarchaeology and geomorphology, the Neolithic and transition to farming, harbours, and anchors.
