제주지역은 기존 송국리문화의 바탕위에 기원전 4세기 이후 도래한 점토대토기문화가 빠르게 융합되면서 전개된다. 이처럼 문화접변 과정을 거쳐 서북부지역에 대규모 취락이 조성되기도 한다. 서남부지역 에서는 비전형적인 송국리형주거지가 축조되면서 지역화된 양식으로 전환된다. 하지만 변형된 주거지를 축조하고 점토대토기 집단의 금속기를 교환하고 있지만 일상토기인 점토대토기는 배척되고 있다. 점토대토기 집단의 정착과정을 보면 서북부지역에서는 주민간 활발한 동화과정을 통해 재지화되는 반면 서남부지역은 상위계층간 교류가 진행될 뿐 직접적인 융합은 이루어지지 않고 있다. 즉 서북부지역은 원형점토대토기 집단이 쉽게 동화되지만 서남부지역에서는 점토대토기 집단과의 교류가 활발하게 진행 되지 못하고 있다. 이로 인해 삼각형점토대토기 집단은 동북부지역(종달리와 김녕리)에 거점을 확보하지만 활동영역이 축소되고 서남부지역과의 교류가 단절된다. 제주지역에서 점토대토기가 소멸하는 것은 대략 2세기경으로 추정되며 남해안지역과 궤를 같이한다.

The Jeju region developed according to the fast fusion of the culture of pottery with clay stripes that was introduced in the fourth century B.C. based on the old Songgukri culture. This acculturation process led to a large settlement in its northwestern areas. Its southwestern areas witnessed the establishment of an atypical Songgukri-style dwelling, which marked a conversion into a localized style. That is, they built an altered dwelling and made exchanges with the group of pottery with clay stripes for metal instruments, but the pottery with clay striped used in the group's daily life was excluded. As for the settlement process of the group of pottery with clay stripes, they went through the Jaeji process through their active assimilation with the local residents in the northwestern areas. There was no direct fusion between the two groups in the southwestern areas except for the exchanges between their upper classes. While the group of circular pottery with clay stripes was easily assimilated in the northwestern areas, there was no active exchange with the group of pottery with clay stripes in the southwestern areas. As a result, the group of triangular pottery with clay stripes secured a foothold in the northeastern areas, but they shrank in their active domain and had their exchanges with the southwestern areas severed. The pottery with clay stripes became extinct in the Jeju region around the second century in the same way that happened in the southern coastal areas.
