Teresa Bürge is the ceramic expert of the excavations at Hala Sultan Tekke, and describes herself as a co-director of the project¹. The New Swedish Cyprus Expedition there was directed by Peter M. Fischer from 2010². She co-authored the report on the 2012 season (23 April to 25 May) and added an appendix on clay figurine fragments from the 2010 to 2012 seasons².

With Fischer she wrote preliminary reports in Opuscula, from volume 6 (the 2012 season) to volume 15 (the 2020-21 seasons), and the monograph Two Late Cypriot City Quarters at Hala Sultan Tekke: The Söderberg Expedition 2010-2017 (SIMA 147, 2018)^1,3. Alone she published in 2017 a re-evaluation of the pottery deposits and offering pits at the site, under the title "Ritual Depositions Versus Garbage Pits"⁵. With Fischer she edited the 2017 proceedings of a workshop on the "Sea Peoples" held at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna on 3-4 November 2014⁴. In 2023 she and Lærke Recht edited Dynamics and Developments of Social Structures and Networks in Prehistoric and Protohistoric Cyprus, published by Routledge. The contributor note gives her as a postdoctoral research fellow at Gothenburg and Bern and at the Austrian Academy of Sciences, working on Bronze and Iron Age pottery, trade and ritual deposition¹.
