YOU published a report about a house-building project by Hogg the Builder where medieval pottery was found on the site. The article concludes by saying that the development is to be called Potter's Field.
Doesn't anybody know of the significance of this name in the Bible? It was the ground bought with the 30 pieces of silver returned to the priests by Judas Iscariot (Mt 27:9-10)
In some versions it is called the Potters' Field. Hardly calculated to sell houses.
