A question from a collegue of mine and I quote: " What was the process by which the ancient Phoenecians extracted the purple (Indigo) dye from the "Dye Murex" of the Eastern Mediterranean"? I am not personally aware of this murex in particular but I knew someone here would be. Thanks in advance.....Michael Huggins <[log in to unmask]> Formerly or Bay Harbor Island, Sunrise, and now in Davie (who's bed have your boots been under?)
