The Leibniz Centre for Archaeology – LEIZA (formerly Roman-Germanic Central Museum) has been charged within the project KulturGutRetter (KGR) - Cultural Heritage Response Unit with the development and testing of a modular, light transportable and scalable table system that can provide first-aid for movable cultural heritage during all phases of a crisis situation.

This paper explains the module composition and functioning as well as its testing in cooperation with the German Archaeological Institute – DAI and Federal Agency for Technical Relief - THW, in order to simulate critical scenarios and to train the first-aid procedure in case of an emergency.
