Framing the session title in an interrogative way, at one level is a nod towards remembering Alfred Russell Wallace, who conceived the theory of evolution through natural selection independently of Charles Darwin, who lived in Bournemouth and was buried in Broadstone cemetery in 1913. At another level the theme prompts the question of whether evolutionary models are still relevant for understanding culture-change through archaeology. And at yet another level the theme raises the matter of changing archaeological practice and where current trends in fieldwork might be taking us: is archaeology as a discipline ‘evolving’?. But the theme should not be seen as a constraint on contributions; it is a starting point! Posters on any aspect of theoretically grounded archaeology are welcome.
