In 1992 she was the project director and field supervisor for excavations at Rock Bridge shelter in Wolfe Co., KY.

While in the process of completing her M.A. and Ph.D. in anthropology, Gremillion was self-employed as an archaeobotanical consultant. After completing her degrees, in 1990 she became a visiting lecturer for East Carolina University's Department of Sociology and Anthropology. From 1991 till 1997, Gremillion was an assistant professor at the Ohio State University in the Department of Anthropology. Then in 1997, she shifted from assistant professor to associate professor in the Department of Anthropology, where she continued to work. In 1999, Gremillion was granted an adjunct appointment in the Department of Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology at the same university.

Gremillion was born in Detroit, Michigan, but her family moved to New Orleans when she was still very young. She grew up in New Orleans and only left in 1982 when she went to attend graduate school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Gremillion began her college education at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, in 1976, majoring in anthropology. In 1979, she transferred to the University of New Orleans in Louisiana, where she graduated cum laude in 1980, receiving a B.A. in anthropology. In 1985, Gremillion received an M.A. in anthropology from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, writing her thesis on Aboriginal Use of Plant Foods and European Contact in the North Carolina Piedmont. In 1989, she received her Ph.D. in anthropology, also from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; her dissertation title was "Late Prehistoric and Historic Period Paleoethnobotany of the North Carolina Piedmont".
