Generally there's an "AL" somewhere on it. If you take off a receptacle or switch cover and look in there with a flashlight you can see the wire wrapped around the receptacle screws or the bare grounds twisted up in the back.
You can also usually tell from the characteristic burning smell and flickering lights. :-)
