Abstract
The Federation in 1901 of six colonies into a Commonwealth of Australia is the most researched episode in Australian political history. But for all its bulk and sophistication, this research remains underdeveloped. The root of the trouble is the `affirmative' premise of almost every page of this history regarding its subject matter, Federation. This article identifies some unexcavated sites in the intensely worked field of Federation history that may supply useful matter for a revisionist history.
