It is true that a pottery fragment is usually identified as a sherd in archeology. It can also be called a potsherd and pottery shard. The three are all synonyms and can be used interchangeably so there is no "misinformation" here. It's all a matter of preference and most people identify with "shard" more than "sherd" or "potsherd".
