There are three ways. The first involves looking at the code to the template itself and trying to discern which placements it supports. Not an easy task if you’ve never written a template.
The second is a little easier and direct. Create a temporary module and set its placements to the various ones that Joomla provides, then note if it shows up or not and how it shows up.
The third is simply to contact the author.
The second option is probably the quickest to use since you don’t have to traverse code or wait for a reply. Plus it helps you find out where the placements are, which can further help you in designing your site.
