  We report high resolution angle-scanned photoemission and Fermi surface (FS)
mapping experiments on the layered transition-metal dichalcogenide 1T-TaS_2 in
the quasi commensurate (QC) and the commensurate (C) charge-density-wave (CDW)
phase. Instead of a nesting induced partially removed FS in the CDW phase we
find a pseudogap over large portions of the FS. This remnant FS exhibits the
symmetry of the one-particle normal state FS even when passing from the
QC-phase to the C-phase. Possibly, this Mott localization induced transition
represents the underlying instability responsible for the pseudogapped FS.
