We have avoided cluttering the tabulated data with sources and
references to minimize viewers distractions. The sources and the reference
materials of our website are as the following:-
-
Our references in order of primary sources concerning occupation
date, Israeli military operation, Israeli attacking Brigade, Population
ethnically cleansing, and Israeli settlements on town lands are from The birth of the Palestinian refugee problem, 1947-1949 by Benny
Morris (see Map 2 and Map #3),
Atlas of Palestine (now
can be bought via the site), The history of the Haganah,
The history of the war of independence (both in Arabic translation from the Institute
for Palestine Studies), Palestine Encyclopedia, Biladuna
Filisteen by Mustafa Murad al-Dabagh, the great book
al-Nakba by
'Aref al-'Aref, and last
but not least All That Remains by Prof. Walid al-Khalidi.

-
Our references in order of primary sources concerning elevation from the
sea, distance from district center, land ownership, population, and number
of houses are Biladuna
Filisteen by Mustafa Murad al-Dabagh,
Atlas of Palestine, Palestine
Encyclopedia, World
Gazetteer, and
PNA's Central Bureau of statistics.

-
All Land Statistics such as land ownerships (for Palestinians and Jews),
citrus, olive, cultivable, and cereal land areas were all extracted from
Village Statistics of 1945.
Since book is extremely important (which was published by the Government of
Palestine for the Anglo-American Commission of Inquiry in 1946), we decide to
make available for the
general public. We also made available a soft copy of this book (plus 20
other important statistics about the Palestinians Villages) into one
spreadsheet, click here for
more details. This spreadsheet is a must read for all researchers and
concerned parties in this field.

-
Village and Local Councils where extracted from
A Survey of Palestine. Since this
book was used extensively by the UN when it drafted the proposed Partition
Plan, we thought it is critical to share a copy of this important book with
the general public, click here for
details.

-
Usurped lands that lay within the armistices line (mostly for W. Bank towns)
have been extract from
Atlas of Palestine.

-
Usurped lands for Palestinian towns within Israel (for years until 1962 &
1972) were extract from from documents compiled from Badil Center based on
research done by Sabri Jiryis in "The Arabs in Israel" (1976) and Bakri Abu
Kishik in "Arab Lands and the Israeli Politics".

Filisteen by Mustafa Murad al-Dabagh.

-
Our primary references concerning population in 1596 and
in 19th century are based on the Ottomans tax record directly quoted
from All That
Remains by Dr. Walid Khalidi.

Our primary references concerning archeological sites,
brief village remains, religious institutions, and up to date field research
about the status of each village plus confirming Israeli settlements on each

Yousef Haddad wrote an ethnography of al-Bassa in Arabic, and I would be most grateful if anyone who knows about an English translation (whether published or unpublished) would let me know about it.
Many thanks,

Further information can be found about Nabi Yusha (and other sites) in my book Gazeteer of Buildings in Muslim Palestine Part1 (Oxford 2001) also there is an article in LEVANT Vol 28 (1996)pp 97-113 'A Preliminary Report on Three Muslim Shrines in Palestine' which discussses Nabi Yusha.
It is interesting that regarding Qaesarea, you write that the Bosnians who settled there "In 1878, Muslim Bosnians settled in Qisarya after the Austrian invasion of their country." When, if you examine history, it was the Ottomans who invaded, ceded territories and settled such as Bosnia, Macedonia - all the way to Vienna. It was only after the Battle of Vienna that the Austrians, allied and supported by several other European nations, moved the Ottoman Turks east. If the Ottomans invaded European territories, and were repulsed, after years of victories, how was it that the Austrians 'invaded these reclaimed lands?
