Rare evidence of fabric dyed with royal purple dating from the time of King David and King Solomon has been discovered in southern Israel.

Scientists have used radiocarbon dating on woven fabric, a tassel and fibres of wool dyed with royal purple found at an archaeological dig in the Timna Valley, a site once used to produce copper.

They found that the samples were around 3,000 years of age, and that the dye came from a Mediterranean mollusc almost 200 miles away.
