Honor Frost Foundation

The Honor Frost Foundation was founded in 2011. Honor Frost was an early pioneer in the field of underwater archaeology. When Honor died in 2010 she left the bulk of her estate to establish the foundation to promote marine and maritime archaeology with a focus on the eastern Mediterranean.

The Foundation’s mission is to promote the advancement and research, including publication, of maritime archaeology with a particular focus on the eastern Mediterranean with an emphasis on Lebanon, Syria, Cyprus and Egypt.
