[edit] rewrite

This article contradicts entries in major US and UK dictionaries. "Sherd" is simply a variant spelling of the more common "shard" and can also be a shortened form of "potsherd" (which is less commonly spelled "potshard"). Dictionaries record no specialized uses in archeology preferring the spelling "sherd" or making a distinction between pottery and glass fragments. --Espoo (talk) 06:24, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
