South Carolina has been home for AnneMarie since 2001. Her favorite part of the state is Lake Jocassee. An App State alumna, it's always the mountains; the lake bonus makes it heavenly. When not writing about the state, she may be spending time with family, relaxing by the pool, or out somewhere enjoying nature.
In the spring of 2021, a pre-construction excavation was being done at a 12-square-meter site at 63 1/2 Coming Street on the College of Charleston campus. The site contained remnants of a mid-19th-century kitchen. The dig was co-directed by Dr. James Newhard, Director of the College of Charleston’s Center for Historical Landscapes, and a fascinating piece of history was unearthed in the process. This archaeological discovery in South Carolina was even named by Archaeology Magazine as a top 10 global discovery of the year.
