    Abstract: There exists a significant theoretical imbalance in the archaeological study of domestic and public domains. Although the domestic has been an important focus of theoretical discussion, there is not an adequate archaeological theory on the public, and the study of the public is often confused with that of elite strategies. We believe that this theoretical imbalance strongly shapes interpretations of early Maya society, leading to the problematic assumption that the domestic existed before the public. Jürgen Habermas's concept of public sphere provides a logical starting point for the exploration of this issue. At the lowland Maya site of Ceibal, Guatemala, a public ceremonial complex was built around 1000 B.C.E. when some groups began to adopt a sedentary and agricultural way of life, but some populations probably maintained residential mobility and a mixed economy for the next few centuries. During this period of profound social change, the new public sphere probably served as an arena of negotiation between diverse groups through communal rituals. The construction of minor temples and the disappearance of figurines several centuries later signal a transformation of domestic ritual through its integration into a more homogeneous system of ritual practice rooted in earlier public rites. [ public sphere, political process, Maya, archaeology ] Existe un desequilibrio teorético en el estudio arqueológico de los dominios doméstico y público. Aunque lo doméstico ha tenido un enfoque importante en discusiones teóricas, no existe una teoría arqueológica adecuada sobre lo público, y el estudio de lo público es comúnmente confundido con el de estrategias de élites. Este desequilibrio teorético afecta fuertemente las interpretaciones sobre la sociedad maya temprana, resultando en la suposición problemática de que lo doméstico existió antes de lo público. El concepto de esfera pública de Jürgen Habermas ofrece un punto lógico de inicio para la exploración de este tema. En el sitio de Ceibal, en Guatemala, un complejo ceremonial público fue construido alrededor de 950 a.C. cuando algunos grupos empezaron a adoptar el estilo de vida sedentario mientras otras poblaciones probablemente mantuvieron movilidad residencial y una economía mixta por algunos siglos. Durante este período de cambio social profundo, la nueva esfera pública probablemente sirvió como el campo de negociación entre diversos grupos a través de rituales comunales. La construcción de templos menores y la desaparición de figurillas varios siglos después indican una transformación del ritual doméstico a través de su integración en un sistema más homogéneo de práctica ritual basado en ritos públicos anteriores.
