dc.descriptionThe study of cluster populations as tracer of galaxy evolution is now quite possible with 8 m class telescopes and modern instrumentation. The cluster population can be used as a good tracer of the star forming episodes undergone by the merging system. We present two young galaxies mergers NGC3256 and NGC4038, and the studies about the young cluster population on those system. We found that the clusters ages are agree with the mergers age and their metallicities are consistent with them being the progenitors of the old metal rich globulars in ellipticals.
