Alfred Louis Delattre (26 June 1850 – 12 January 1932), also known as Révérend Père Delattre, was a French archaeologist, born at Déville-lès-Rouen.[1] Delattre made substantial discoveries in the ruins of ancient Carthage including an ancient Necropolis.[2][3]
Sent as a missionary to Algeria, he became chaplain of the church of St. Louis of Carthage and conservator of the archaeological museum at Algiers. His investigations among the ruins of ancient Carthage were very valuable.[4] He became director of the Musée Lavigerie de Saint-Louis de Carthage, founded through his efforts in 1875. His works include:
