Abstract

Alienation as a novelty in archaeological research which in this study aims to explain how mentally illness patients are buried at Lawang Mental Hospital as an alienation and how the representation of the graves of patients with mentally illness. Alienation is a form of experience by individuals who are marginalized from society, one of which is people with mentally illness. Alienation in mentally illness does not only occur during their lifetime, but continues until they die. Lawang Mental Hospital, built in 1884, is the only mental hospital that has a special cemetery for mentally illness patients. The method used focuses on observation and documentation of 59 graves consisting of several forms. Based on the data of the existing graves, it shows that there is a continued alienation of mentally illness, even after death. This is based on the location of the graves far from the community, the lack of order in the arrangement of the graves, and the simple depiction of the shape of the headstones and the minimal use of inscriptions.
