Abstract In this editorial article for the Special Issue on Unlocking Sacred Landscapes: Digital Humanities and Ritual Space, we introduce the applicability of digital humanities to the study of ritual space. The Issue focuses on digital approaches both to ritual space and to artefacts relating to ritual practice and cult. The terms ritual and cult are used broadly to include sanctuaries, temples and churches, as well as the domestic and funerary spheres of life. We include contributions with a strong methodological focus on computational developments, digitisation processes and spatial analyses. Although the main focus of the Unlocking Sacred Landscapes (UnSaLa) Research Network is the Mediterranean region, we have also encouraged colleagues working in other areas of the world to contribute to this volume, with a view to stimulating wider methodological dialogues and comparative approaches. The chronological span ranges from prehistory to the recent past, and includes cultural heritage management.

数字人文与礼仪空间：重新评估

摘要在关于“解开神圣的风景：数字人文与仪式空间”的特刊的这篇社论文章中，我们介绍了数字人文学科在仪式空间研究中的适用性。本期聚焦于仪式空间以及与仪式实践和崇拜有关的人工制品的数字方法。仪式和礼拜一词的使用范围广泛，包括避难所，寺庙和教堂，以及生活和丧葬的生活领域。我们的研究方法论着重于计算发展，数字化过程和空间分析。尽管“解锁圣地”研究网络的主要重点是地中海地区，但我们也鼓励在世界其他地区工作的同事为这一领域做出贡献，为了促进更广泛的方法对话和比较方法。时间范围从史前到近代，包括文化遗产管理。
