| Abstract | A new method to derive age differences between the various super star clusters observed in starburst galaxies using the two color diagram (B−H) vs (H−K) is presented. This method offers a quick and easy way to differentiate very young and intermediate age stellar populations even if data on extinction are unavailable. In this case, discrimination of regions younger and older than 4 Myr is feasible. With the availability of data on extinction, the time resolution can be improved significantly. The application of the method to the starbursting system Arp 299 is presented. The validity of the method is confirmed by comparing the equivalent width of the Hα line with the chronological map of the northern part of NGC 3690.
