Jean-Jacques de Morgan (1857 in Huisseau-sur-Cosson, Loir-et-Cher – 1924) 〔The Experience of Ancient Egypt - Page 137 by Ann Rosalie David〕 was a French mining engineer,〔Satellite Images and Near Eastern Landscapes, by Nicholas Kouchoukos p.80〕 geologist, and archaeologist. He was the director of antiquities in Egypt during the 19th century,〔Who Was Who in Egyptology ... - Page 82 by Warren Royal Dawson〕 and excavated in Memphis and Dashur, providing many drawings of many Egyptian pyramids. He also worked at Stonehenge, and Persepolis, and many other sites. He also went to Russian Armenia, as manager of a copper mine at Akhtala. "The Caucasus is of special interest in the study of the origins of metals; it is the easternmost point from which prehistoric remains are known; older than Europe and Greece, it still retains the traces of those civilizations that were the cradle of our own." In 1887-89 he unearthed 576 graves around Alaverdi and Akhatala, near the Tiflis-Alexandropol railway line.〔A History of Armenia by Vahan M. Kurkjian, p.8〕 == Background == His father Eugène, also called "Baron" de Morgan, was an engineer in mineral findings. His interests were in entomology and prehistory. He named his two sons, Henry and Jacques. His sons later got into fieldwork, excavating the Campigny faults near Rouen with him, which had lent its name to the first phase of the European neolithic. With his father Jacques became acquainted with Gabriel de Mortillet, who was connected with the museum of national antiquities in Saint-Germain during investigations of Merovingian cemeteries, and who showed him how to catalogue excavated objects. De Morgan's goal was to be a professional geologist like his father, and his personal lifestyle had given him a way to travel and study since his early youth. In 1879 he started to publish the results of his research, illustrated with drawings that were notable for their finesse and documentary precision.
