Dr.François Gendron, A Short BiographyDr François Gendron, is Vice President of ADMAT-FRANCE and has been working with ADMAT since 2002, conducting research on the French shipwrecks. During this time, every French wreck ADMAT has conducted archaeological surveys on, François has advised. He is one of ADMAT's key archaeologist in France and he is assisted by Florence Prudhomme. He and Florence Prudhomme are ADMAT's lieason with the French museums and archaeological instutions. François major claim to fame is that he and his research team, found the identification and full story of the Perfume Bottle Wreck. From the maritime archaeological information collected from the surveys, François and his team identified the Perfume Bottle Wreck as the shipwreck “Le Casimir”. This was a major breakthrough, and he even confirmed Dr. Spooner's wrecking process for this ship, by comparing his archaeological wrecking process from the information on site, with the information he found in the archives. The information he found, proved Dr. Spooner's wrecking process 97% which was a record. In addition he conducted some research on the perfume bottles with the help of the Famous French Laboratory C2RMF (Centre de Recherches et de Restauration des Musées de France) located in “Le Louvre”.
In 1993 he was awarded a Diploma of Elaborated Studies (D.E.A.) in History and Civilizations at Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris. Promoted as a Doctor in Archaeology in 1998 at the “Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales”, he discovered in 1996 the Olmec Blue Jade Deposit in Guatemala. He graduated as a specialist in Gemmology. François during his service in the French Navy, was awarded in 1983 the, Overseas Medal with coupling pin "Lebanon"; and the National Defence Medal with coupling pin "War Boat". In Paris, he was in charge of the Amerindian Collection at the “Musée de l’Homme” until the closing in year 2001 before joining the Prehistoric Department at the MNHN (Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle) in 2004. He is also a member of "Societe Des Explorateurs Français". He supervised many archaeological campaigns especially in Mexico, Guatemala and French Guyane and is working in cooperation with many research Institutes and French and European Universities. He is married to Dr. Aïsha Gendron, a specialist geologist and has two children. He’s a 3 star CMAS Diver and enjoys diving on historical shipwrecks!
