Drysdale, R., Zanchetta, G., Hellstrom, J., Maas, R., Fallick, A., Pickett, M., Cartwright, I. and Piccini, L.: Late Holocene drought responsible for the collapse of Old World civilizations is recorded in an Italian cave flowstone, Geology, 34(2), 101, doi:10.1130/g22103.1, 2006.

The analyses were performed in two locations: (1) Institute of Earth Environment, Xi?an, China and (2) the Minnesota Isotope Laboratory, Minneapolis, USA. Both locations use a Finnigan-MAT 252 mass spectrometer fitted with a Kiel Carbonate Device III.
