  We present the detection of infall, rotation and outflow kinematic signatures
towards both a protostellar source, VLA 1623 and what was initially thought to
be a pre-protostellar core, SM1N, in the rho-Ophiuchus A region. The kinematic
signatures of early star formation were detected in the dense molecular gas
surrounding the embedded sources using high signal-to-noise millimeter and
submillimeter data. Centroid velocity maps made with HCO+ J=4->3 and J=1->0
line emission exhibit the blue bulge signature of infall, which is predicted to
be seen when infall motion dominates over rotational motion. Further evidence
for infalling gas is found in the HCO+ blue asymmetric line profiles and red
asymmetric opacity profiles. We also performed CO J=3->2 and J=1->0
observations to determine the direction, orientation, and extent of molecular
outflows, and report the discovery of a new bipolar outflow possibly driven by
SM1N.
