Resumo7194 (Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in Paris).André was incredibly proud of his birthplace: Ouezzane, in the Moroccan pre-Rif.And his career as a prehistorian gave him the opportunity to reconnect with his native country when, in his early thirties, he became a member, then the Director, of the French Archaeological Mission in Morocco: a link that remained strong until his death.His other area of work was in Aquitaine (France), particularly in Charente.He conducted his PhD research, BRecherches sédimentologiques sur le remplissage des grottes-abris de la Chaise-de-Vouthon (Charente)^-under the direction of François Bordes at the University of Bordeaux-which he defended in 1965, just prior to joining the CNRS.In 1974, he defended his State Thesis in Natural Sciences, entitled BRecherches sur les terrains quaternaires des Charentes et les industries qui leur sont associées," also at the University of Bordeaux.Above all else, André Debénath was a man of fieldwork.From the Valley of the Tardoire to the Moroccan High Atlas, his entire career was geared to forging international human ties and to sharing his unique and broad experiences.
