Rock alignments built for controlling the flow of water and its effects on soil, and known by a number of terms including check dams, terraces, linear borders, and trincheras, have troubled Southwestern archaeologists for years. Especially problematical are attempts to determine the ages of such features; recently built rock alignments can be easily confused with prehistoric ones. This paper identifies 13 morphological elements of rock alignments and discusses their value in determining age. It offers a method for distinguishing between prehistoric and recent water and soil control features when no other evidence is available
