Battle axe
Such battle axes were presumably used during Inca conquests. Head injuries caused by such battle axes have been documented in numerous skull finds. According to most researchers, the Inca empire initially proceeded with attempts to negotiate during its expansion. Offers of voluntary submission to the Sapa Inca were accompanied by promised privileges for the nobles of the province to be subjected. If this offer was rejected, the Incan army attacked.
