“…One of the murex floors is in the late second-century quarter to the north of the theatre, suggesting that murex dye production was being carried on in the late second century or third century. Little is known about the physical infrastructure of murex production in the ancient world; excavations at Delos have found vats assumed to be for steeping fabric in the dye (Bruneau, 1969), but recent excavations of Hellenistic murex dyeworks at Euesperides (Benghazi) and late antique dyeworks at Meninx (Djerba, Tunisia) indicate that much of the production was done by heating crushed murex in portable vessels over fires on large hearths in open courtyards, the archaeological traces consisting of layers of ash and crushed murex overlying hearth surfaces. Cisterns, where present, supplied the water needs of the process, but may be indistinguishable from cisterns used for other purposes.…”

“…Hellenistic Murex dyeworks are also known from Delos, where the industry was taxed from the third century BC, and where sondages have been made in a first-century BC workshop (Bruneau 1969), and from several sites in Israel (Tell Dor, Tell Mor, Tell Akko and Tell Keisan - Karmon and Spanier 1987); other Hellenistic dyeworks have been found at Mycenae and Halieis (Bowkett 1995), Isthmia (Kardara 1961), and Chorsiai (Roesch 1986), although it is not known what colours they produced. In general, though, few have been investigated in detail.…”
