contents Few baryon resonances have generated as much discussion, even controversy, as the first positive parity excited state with nucleon quantum numbers. We re-examine the issue using insight gained from lattice QCD, complemented by Hamiltonian effective field theory. In doing so, we also examine the distinction between a state that can be naturally described as a quark model state and one that is dynamically generated.
