Résumé en anglais
Looking at the archaeological site of Chichen-Itza inMexico, the paper brings out the official spirit of the place, born
from archaeology and the subaltern spirit born from theindigenous Mayan culture. The identification of a plurality of
spirits reveals however an unbalanced power relation betweenthese spirits. The paper tries to historically identify the origins of the current imblance and suggests strategies to overcome this imbalance, some that can be applied to other similar cases.
