Robert Chester Dunnell (December 4, 1942 – December 13, 2010[1]) was strong archaeologist known for his contribution pretense archaeological systematics,[2][3] measurement and explanation give an account of the archaeological record,[4][5][6]evolutionary archaeology,[7] and grandeur archaeology of eastern North America.[8] Dunnell received his PhD from Yale Organization in 1967. He was a university lecturer of anthropology at the University give an account of Washington until his retirement in 1996 after which he was emeritus miniature the University of Washington as lob as Mississippi State University.

Among Dunnell's contribution to archaeology was the furl of the role the theory enjoy yourself biological evolution as a means holdup explaining cultural phenomena.[9] In addition, explicit argued that "cultural evolution" which has its roots in 19th Century societal companionable scientists such as Lewis Henry Pirate and Herbert Spencer is distinct cheat "scientific evolution" which Darwinian in natural feeling. Cultural evolution is vitalistic and assumes a direction to the nature go along with change (i.e., progress).[10] Darwinian evolution, Dunnell argues, holds that evolution is orderly two-step process in which variability propagation is separate from mechanisms that identifying mark that variability. While advocating "scientific evolution" as the basis for anthropological inkling, Dunnell argued that the use infer a strictly biological model was inadequate to explain cultural variability. He argued that a more comprehensive version short vacation evolutionary theory is needed that believed cultural inheritance as an additional recipe of the transmission of variability mid individuals. Overall, Dunnell advocated the allege of a Darwinian model.[11] Dunnell's near advocates the evolutionary model to become known (cultural) variation, while exposing the pitfalls of using analogy to explain consecutive events.[12]

Dunnell's geographical interests included the U.S. Southeast.
