Abstract

This talk summarises evidence for states beyond those expected in the simple constituent quark model. I focus on the scalar glueball and its mixing with states in the $q\bar{q}$ nonet, and also on correlations in Strong QCD that may form diquarks and seed $qq\bar{q}\bar{q}$ states. Some models of the pentaquark candidate Θ(1540) are critically discussed.
