The Shiraho-Saonetabaru Cave Site is an archaeological site on [[Ishigaki Island]] where a large number of Paleolithic human remains were found. A number of partial skeletons have been dated to roughly 20,000-27,000 years ago, while other bone fragments found in the site have been dated to roughly 10,000-20,000 years ago. Experts suggest it was likely a graveyard.
