Interesting-bit-of-history-ping.

The TV series, “The Naked Archeologist” ran a segment on this some time ago. It was one of the better episodes.

The techelet continued to be produced until the Muslim conquest, not the Roman conquest.

Exciting news if it's true, but one has to be careful. Most
Gedolim reject the dye of the
Petil Tekhelet organization.
The dye came from the chillazon, which washed up on shore only "once every seventy years." Whether or not they have actually identified the correct species is yet to be seen.

“the knowledge of how to produce the tekhelet dye was lost after A.D. 70.”
I find that hard to believe...with all our technology today, we cannot figure out how the ancients...using rudimentary tools and techniques got a dye from a snail?
One of the earliest Christians in Asia Minor by the way, according to the book of Acts in the New Testament, was an (evidently Gentile), “woman from the city of Thyatira named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God.” (Acts 16:14)
Since this book in never mentions the death of Saul/Paul rather ends during a (late) imprisonment it had to have been composed no later than say 64 or 65 CE. I wonder if Lydia was dealing in tekhelet fabric?
