Subsequently, the authors explore the physical aspects of fishing for purple shellfish and the early stages of their processing, based on its material remains, both artefactual/architectural and bio-archaeological. Certain works by Aristotle and other later writers are the starting point of the investigation into how the ancient Greeks understood the physiology of Muricidae, the factors influencing the quality of purple dye and the methods employed for their capture. This is done by combining zooarchaoelogical, written and ethnographic evidence, in order to achieve a multiple approach to the first steps of purple dye production. Murex trunculus sea snails can only be collected by diving and hand-searching on rocky coastlines. It was and still is, the most expensive dye on earth.
