Minz: Reference book for Lucerne cantonal archaeology
Three volumes, five kilograms in weight, 750 pages, and four months of immersion in the world of archaeology. Commissioned by the Lucerne Cantonal Archaeology Office, Minz was tasked with designing the three-volume work *Archaeology of the Early to Late Middle Ages at Lake Sempach*.
This time, the product is aimed at a specialist audience - unlike previous collaborations between Minz and the cantonal archaeology department (Werbewoche.ch reported).
On a total of around 750 pages, the archaeologists scientifically describe their excavations, as well as the investigations of houses from the first floor to the gable and church buildings. The three volumes are richly illustrated with archaeological drawings and photographic catalogs of finds with detailed descriptions. The work will primarily appeal to experts, who will hopefully also enjoy its design, as the agency writes. It was exciting for us designers to immerse ourselves in the world of archaeology and at the same time contribute our specialist know-how. They were particularly pleased that graphics and typography were also important to the archaeologists.
