  Contactlike nonstandard effective interactions can be revealed through
deviations of observables from the Standard Model predictions. If such
deviations were observed, the relevant source should be identified among the
possible models that could explain them. We estimate the expected
discrimination reach on the ADD model of gravity in large compactified extra
dimensions, against the compositeness-inspired four-fermion contact
interaction. As basic observables we take the differential cross sections for
fermion-pair production at a 0.5-1 TeV electron-positron linear collider with
both beams longitudinally polarized. For the four-fermion contact interaction,
we assume a general linear combination of the individual models with definite
chiralities, and arbitrary coupling constants. Accordingly, the estimated
identification reach on the ADD scenario can be considered as
`model-independent'. We emphasize the substantial role of beams polarization in
enhancing the identification sensitivity.
