Biography edit
Thunberg was a punk rock musician during his youth. In 1979 he co-founded the pioneering hardcore punk band Homy Hogs.[3][4] In this context he became a recurring character in the early comics of Joakim Lindengren.[5][6][7][8][9][10]
Thunberg was educated at the University of Gothenburg and Uppsala University. He has lectured on didactic method for history as a school subject.[11][12] Thunberg became a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland in 2016.[13]
From 2010 to 2012 he took part in the policy struggle to preserve the archaeological reconstructions at Gene fornby near Örnsköldsvik in Sweden.[14][15][16][17] In 2022 he was appointed chairman of Västernorrland County Museum.[18][19] In 2023 Thunberg became chairman of the Swedish antiquities fund Stiftelsen Björkå AB Fornminnesfond, a foundation for financial contributions to science within archaeological areas, and research grants for scholarly projects involving protected historic buildings, archaeological sites and ancient remains.[20][21]
