"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Dating to 1,000BC-800BC, the hoard includes two rattle pendants, a sword inside a wooden scabbard, and bronze buttons looped on to cords. Having lain undisturbed for 3,000 years, conservation work has revealed rare, silver-coloured objects from an era when silver was unknown, with analysis showing the colour is the result of high levels of tin on the surface. This is thought to have been the product of a deliberate enrichment technique by highly-skilled craftspeople."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across issues such as reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, keeping reporting paywall-free and accessible to all. Donations enable journalists to investigate topics like the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and to produce documentaries such as 'The A Word' that spotlight American women fighting for reproductive rights.

Analysis attributes the silver colour to high surface tin levels, likely resulting from deliberate enrichment techniques by skilled craftspeople.
