Posted: Four Stone Hearth and Clio Awards!

As my friend Ralph said,
CV, the "Abnormal Edition," of Four Stone Hearth, the anthropology/archaeology carnival, is up at Abnormal Interests!
Also, Nominations for the 2010 Cliopatria Awards in history blogging are open through the end of this month in categories ranging from Best New, Individual and Group Blog to Best Post and Series of Posts to Best Writer.

New Editions: Genealogy, Indian, 4 Stone Hearth

The 60th edition of the Genealogy Carnival is an Alzheimer's themed collection, in honor of National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month. Some very powerful stuff, and also historiographically fascinating.

The 11th edition of the Indian History Carnival has some very interesting material.

4 Stone Hearth, the anthropology/archaeology carnival has a nearly all-archaeology edition

Don't forget, Cliopatria Award Nominations are open for another ten days!

Carnivalesque News

It's always been a bit of a problem for Carnivalesque that we had only the one nomination form for the alternating ancient/medieval and early modern editions. If you sent in a nomination in the 'wrong' month, there was no certainty that it would end up with the right host. I think we 'lost' a number of nominations this way. On top of that, there's been a growing problem with spammy nominations from Blog Carnival.

Well, I finally got around to setting up a nomination form hosted at Carnivalesque's website, which has also allowed the creation of separate forms for the two strands of the carnival. Now you can send a nomination in at any time and it will go to the host of the next edition for its topic.

(Even if you accidentally use the wrong form, a copy of the nomination will be going to one or both of the Mistresses of Misrule; we don't guarantee to pass it on to the right place, but will do our best.)

So bookmark these two pages for the future:

http://www.earlymodernweb.org.uk/carnivalesque/index.php/nomination-form-ancientmedieval - ANCIENT/MEDIEVAL content nomination form

http://www.earlymodernweb.org.uk/carnivalesque/index.php/nomination-form-earlymodern - EARLY MODERN content nomination form

And you can find the link to the two forms on the carnival homepage.

History Carnival News: nominations

We're trying out a new channel for History Carnival nominations.

If you have a Del.icio.us account, you can simply bookmark any post and tag it with historycarnival. It will appear on the new Carnival Uncooked page for review by the upcoming host.

You can do this at any time during the month, and tag as many posts as you like!

Cliopatria Awards for History Blogging, 2007: Nominations Open

Nominations for the 2007 Cliopatria Awards will remain open through November.
The Cliopatria Awards recognize the best history writing in the blogosphere. There will be awards in six categories: Cliopatria, as host of the awards, is ineligible for the "Best Group Blog" category. Individual judges are ineligible for nomination in their respective categories, but may be nominated for other awards. Judges may also make nominations in other categories.

Bloggers, blogs and posts may be nominated in multiple categories. Individuals may nominate any number of specific blogs, bloggers or posts, even in a single category, as long as the nominations include all the necessary information (names, titles, URLs, etc).

Nominations will be open through November; judges will make the final determinations in December. The winners will be announced at the American Historical Association Annual Meeting in early January 2008; winners will be listed on HNN and earn the right to display the Cliopatria Awards Logo on their blog.

Judges for 2007 are: Ancarett, Timothy Burke, Miriam Elizabeth Burstein, Rebecca Goetz, Paul Harvey, Sharon Howard, Elizabeth Klaczynski, Adam Roberts, and John Carter Wood.
