本文以罗马时期的埃及墓葬为切入点，考虑美学与考古学、古代艺术和人类遗骸的关系。虽然有些考古学家和考古学家拒绝或忽视美学的概念，本文认为，它补充了本体论，物质性和社会实践的问题，关注当代考古思想。此外，在古代世界的研究中涉及美学，要求考古学家（和其他人）批判性地反思学科历史与知识生产之间的关系，并认识到早期美学模型（如种族科学）在当前与古埃及及其死者的美学遭遇中继续发挥的影响。
This article uses Egyptian burials of the Roman period as an entry point for considering aesthetics in relation to archaeology, ancient art, and human remains. Although some archaeologists and Egyptologists reject or ignore the concept of aesthetics, this article argues that it complements questions of ontology, materiality, and social practice that concern much contemporary archaeological thought. Moreover, engaging with aesthetics in the study of the ancient world requires archaeologists (and others) to reflect critically on the relationship between disciplinary histories and knowledge production, and to recognize the influence that earlier aesthetic models, such as racial science, continue to exert in current aesthetic encounters with ancient Egypt and its dead.
