English term or phrase: Earth oven
There is now agreement that the "Lapita" settlers of the western Pacific stayed there for some time, maybe 500 years or even longer, becoming Polynesian in the process.

During that time they changed their cooking methods, increasingly relying on earth ovens rather than pots.

Is there any specific term for this in Arabic?

Thank you.

أفران من الطين


Explanation:
فرن من الطين منتشر في الأرياف المصرية وفي بلدان متعددة في قارة أفريقيا ولها اسم أخر ولكن لا أعتقد أنه منتشر في أماكن أخرى وهو لفظ دارج ينتشر على ألسنة ربات البيوت الريفيات وهو "عرسَة" بفتح العين
