History
Antiquity
Remains from the Early Roman era (end of the first century BCE–beginning of the first century CE) have been found here.[1][2][3]
Three strata from the Roman-Byzantine periods was excavated in the centre of the village.[4] A bathhouse, dating from the same time, has also been found.[5]
Ceramics and other remains from the Byzantine era have been found here.[2][6][7]
An excavation revealed remains dating from the end of the Byzantine period (7th century CE), and above it were remains of a residential house from the Abbasid period (9th–10th centuries CE).[8]
Ottoman era
In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) found at Sheikh Meisir "foundations near a modern Mukam" (Muslim tomb).[9] In spite of this, Andrew Petersen, who inspected the Maqam in 1994, suggested "that the building may be considerably older than the nineteenth century."[10]
British Mandate era
In the 1922 census of Palestine, conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Kherbet Maisir had a population of 49 Muslims.[11]
In the 1945 statistics Meiser was counted with Qaffin and Kh. el Aqaba, together they had a population of 1,570 Muslims,[12] with a land area of 23,755 dunams, according to an official land and population survey.[13] Of this, 5,863 dunams were plantations and irrigable land, 8,371 were used for cereals,[14] while 40 dunams were built-up (urban) land.[15]
