Forensic Analysis:
1. List and describe all evidence used:

2- (http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj311/inca7/IMG_2660.jpg)
3- (http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj311/inca7/IMG_2683.jpg)
4- (http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj311/inca7/cup.jpg)
2. Explain significance of each piece of evidence:
1- the first image was a map. we think that the incas traveled to europe to fight.
2- the second image was a bullet. it was used to "exterminate" the incas.
3- the third image was a bullet shell. it was also used to "exterminate" the incas during the war.
4- the fourth image was silverware.
3. List and describe any possible suspects: Pizarro
(http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj311/inca7/wbende1.jpg) "Pizarro killed and slaughtered the Incas, destroyed their culture and ruined an entire civilization. He killed everyone that he and his army saw, children, moms and of course warriors. He also ruined most of their monuments, and then wiped out the places that they lived and worshiped. So he had a very bad impact on all the Inca people. Also he killed their ruler, Atahualpa, which destroyed most of their organization. All the survivors of the battles ran away and without their ruler the Inca survivors had no idea how to re-group themselves into a bigger army. These small bands were easy to kill. And then, when all the Incas were prisoners or were dead, Pizarro had Peru for Spain."

Witness Interviews: (find three primary sources):
-"Although the title of Inca was hereditary, primogeniture was not a factor in the Inca royal succession. The dying Inca could choose the son he felt was best suited to succeed him. Atahuallpa and his younger brother, Huascar became entrenched in a bloody civil war for power after their father Wayna Capac succumbed to smallpox."
(http://www.pbs.org/conquistadors/pizarro/pizarro_c00.html )
-"Pizarro, in his ambition to become the sole ruler of all of Peru, later had a falling out with his partner Almagro. The two became involved in their own civil war and Almagro was killed by Pizarro's brothers. In 1541, Diego de Almagro's supporters avenged his death by killing Pizarro."
(http://www.pbs.org/conquistadors/pizarro/pizarro_d00.html)
-"The Spanish noted that many of the Inca's entourage were frightened of their horses. Hernando de Soto rode right up, spurring his horse so close to Atahuallpa's face that its breath tousled the crimson tassels on the Inca's royal headband. Atahuallpa, however, was unmoved and unblinking, and ordered the killing of those who had panicked. That was demeaning behavior for the staff of a great king."
