The near-IR photometry presented for a sample of 14 violent star-formation regions exhibits colors indicating that most of the 2-micron flux of these objects is produced by ionized gas and cool, evolved stars. A deep CO index in two of the objects shows that the cool evolved stars detected in them are red supergiants. The combination of IR photometry and optical spectrophotometry can provide a powerful age indicator for star-forming regions less than 8 million years old, and should prove useful in the study of both large scale star formation and massive star evolution.
