  The quark-molecular-dynamics model is used to study microscopically the
dynamics of the coloured quark phase and the subsequent hadron formation in
relativistic S+Au collisions at the CERN-SPS. Particle spectra and hadron
ratios are compared to both data and the results of hadronic transport
calculations. The non-equilibrium dynamics of hadronization and the loss of
correlation among quarks are studied.
