Russian term or phrase: хум
Здравствуйте!
Нужна помощь с переводами терминов "хум" и "хумча".

http://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/bse/148204/Хум - Хум, большой (высотой до 1,5 м) глиняный сосуд, суживающийся книзу, с горлом (или без него) для хранения воды и продовольственных запасов. Широко распространён в быту населения Средней Азии с 1-й половины 1-го тыс. до н. э. В верхней части Х. обычно орнаментированы росписью, прочерченным узором или налепами. Современные Х. делают с ручками, внутри покрывают глазурью.

Хумча - это сосуд меньших размеров.
Есть вариант переводить просто "vessel", но м.б. есть какое-нибудь специальное название?

P.S. если у вас есть рус-англ словари или глоссарии по археологии (кроме Алексеевой и Саввониди,1993) - буду очень благодарен, если поделитесь ([email protected]).

Granted, this is probably a Russian work, but nonetheless the words are being used in the literature and are defined--clay vessels-- which is the way to go.
