Ernest Harold Jones (7 March 1877 – 10 March 1911) was a British artist and excavator, who identified early clues to the location of Tutankhamun's tomb. He contracted tuberculosis and in 1904 he decided to go to Egypt to relieve his symptoms. He worked with archaeologist John Garstang, of Liverpool, from 1904–07 and then for Theodore M. Davis and Emma Andrews from 1907-11. He died of tuberculosis in Luxor, Egypt, in March 1911.[1]
