Abstract: We present a photometric study of the star clusters in IC10. We find fifteen new star clusters from the inspection of SUBARU/Suprime-Cam images in the archive, while fifty seven star clusters are found from HST images in previous studies. We derive JHKs integrated photometry of these star clusters from the images taken with SUBARU/MOIRCS. We combine this with optical photometry derived from archive images. Then we derive age and mass of these star clusters using the spectral energy distribution fitting with the simple stellar population models. We fine that the age distribution has two dominant peaks at about 20 Myr and 1 Gyr. The recent peak at 20 Myr shows that recent starburst lasted since 20 Myr ago. The peak at 1 Gyr suggests that IC10 had strong starburst at 1 Gyr ago.
