Abstract: Let $p>155$ be a prime and let $G$ be a cyclic group of order $p$. Let $S$ be a minimal zero-sum sequence with elements over $G$, i.e., the sum of elements in $S$ is zero, but no proper nontrivial subsequence of $S$ has sum zero. We call $S$ is unsplittable, if there do not exist $g$ in $S$ and $x,yinG$ such that $g=x+y$ and $S{g}^{-1}xy$ is also a minimal zero-sum sequence. In this paper we show that if $S$ is an unsplittable minimal zero-sum sequence of length $|S|=fracp-12$, then $S=g^{fracp-112}(fracp+32g{)}^4(fracp-12g)$ or $g^{fracp-72}(fracp+52g{)}^2(fracp-32g)$. Furthermore, if $S$ is a minimal zero-sum sequence with $|S|gefracp-12$, then $ind(S)leq2$.
