About Bill Doelle, President and CEO of Archaeology Southwest
Bill came to Tucson almost 40 years ago as a new graduate student. Today, he is the founder and president of two Tucson-based organizations dedicated to respectfully exploring the Southwest’s past and sharing that story with everyone.

No one knows “Tucson Underground” better than Bill does.
About Doug Gann, Preservation Archaeologist and Digital Media Specialist at Archaeology Southwest Doug grew up on Tucson’s northwest side, where he played in the adobe ruins of historic homesteads and wondered about the ancient artifacts he found on walks home from school. For the past 25 years, Doug has pursued and entwined his two passions, archaeology and computer technology. Most recently, Doug has developed CVR (Chronological Virtual Reality), a digital time machine that shares archaeological perspectives on the past in extraordinary ways. He will show you a Tucson—and a Southwest—you have never seen before.
