A '''top''' (also called '''spinning top''' or '''spintop''') is a [[toy]] that can be spun on an axis, balancing on a point. This motion is produced in the most simple forms of top by twirling the stem using the fingers. More sophisticated tops are spun by by holding the axis firmly while pulling a string or twisting a stick or pushing an [[auger]] as shown in the pictures on this page. In the kinds with an auger, an internal weight rotates, producing an overall circular motion.

The top is one of the oldest recognizable toys found on [[archaeology|archaeological]] sites. Spinning tops originated independently in cultures all over the world.<ref>{{cite book | author = D. W.
