We predict the formation of highly dense baryon-rich resonance matter in
Au+Au collisions at AGS energies. The final pion yields show observable signs
for resonance matter. The Delta(1232) resonance is predicted to be the dominant
source for pions of small transverse momenta. Rescattering effects --
consecutive excitation and deexcitation of Deltas -- lead to a long apparent
lifetime (> 10 fm/c) and rather large volumina (several 100 fm^3) of the
Delta-matter state. Heavier baryon resonances prove to be crucial for reaction
dynamics and particle production at AGS.Comment: 17 pages, 5 postscript figures, uses psfig.sty and revtex.st
