We present a model of baryonic matter which contains free constituent quark
s in addition to bound constituent quarks in nucleons. In addition to the c
ommon linear sigma-model we include the exchange of vector-mesons. The perc
entage of free quarks increases with baryon density and the nucleons resist
a restoration of chiral symmetry. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science B
