We present integrated spectra in the optical range obtained at CASLEO for a sample of 10 concentrated star clusters (SCs) belonging to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Most of the SCs have been previously only poorly studied. We derive simultaneously foreground E(B−V) reddening values and ages for the cluster sample by comparing their integrated spectrawith template LMC cluster spectra and with two different sets of simple stellar population models. We derive ages between 1 Myr and 240 Myr.
