commas/ omitting which is
In the passage down below, shouldn't the writer has included "which is" before the word championed, since it is in a non-defining clause?
In seeking to describe the origins of theater, one must rely primarily on speculation, since there is little concrete evidence on which to draw. The most widely accepted theory, championed by anthropologists in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, envisions theater as emerging out of myth and ritual. The process perceived by these anthropologists may be summarized briefly.

No, a non-finite clause as well as a finite clause can be a supplementary clause (which is what you call 'a non-defining clause'). And if you're to use a finite clause there, it should be not which is but which was, because the supplementary clause is about the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
