A fact from Chalcolithic temple of Ein Gedi appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 December 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
ShelfSkewed, hi. Thank you for offering an answer. I wasn't aware of the fact that "the use of "churn" for a milk can came much later" and expected a person in the know to help out precisely with this type of clue, which you did. I am very well aware of this Chalcolithic butter churn model at the Israel Museum as well as the large clay churn there with the photo of the very similar modern Afghan one behind it, but none of them are of direct help, as it can go both ways if one doesn't have that specific clue. It can still be a wrong use of the term and actually be meant as "milk container", to be honest, but that's less likely. Why Chalcolitic people carried pairs of butter churns, rather than milk containers, on the back of animals, or maybe just used this image in cultic contexts, is not explained: only that would fully clarify what is meant in the description.
