Hi Adam,

the sulfur isotopic composition of sulfate in the Dead Sea water column
and sediments was published by Nissenbaum & Kaplan in 1976 (In: Nriagu,
edt.) Environmental biogeochemistry Vol.I. Delta-34S was between +10 and
16 permil vs CDT in the water column and +10 and 20 permil in pore waters.

For the oxygen isotopic composition you may be succesfull by looking into
Longinelli & Craig (1967) Science

Good luck
Michael
