 著名考古学家张光直曾经说，中国考古学在北大。是说虽然有溢美夸张的成分，但北京大学考古文博学院在中国考古学研究上所做出的突出成绩，是得到公认的。
　　考古文博学院科研力量雄厚。设有教育部全国人文社会科学重点研究基地“中国考古学研究中心”、北京大学古代文明研 究中心、北京大学遗产地保护与研究中心等重要研究机构，以及实验设备先进的科技考古与文物保护实验室。 通过这些机构，每年组织和实施一批重大研究课题，以及承担国家重要研究任务。在举世关注的“夏商周断代工程”、“中华文明探源工程”等国家项目中，北大都做出了突出贡献。

　　考古文博学院的教师队伍也即科研的主体，他们中的许多人分别在各自的研究领域做出了开拓性成绩，是学科发展的带头人。当然，这些科研成果也不断地体现在学院的教学之中。
　　目前，考古文博学院正密切跟踪国际学术发展趋势，不断提升科研实力，以推动中国考古学的建设与发展。

 学院十分重视与国内外开展广泛的学术交流，与许多著名大学和研究机构建立并保持着密切合作关系。通过学者互访、实施共同研究项目等多种形式，推动考古学的发展。 　　目前正在开展的重要国际合作项目有，“中法史前人类文化与环境研究”、 “中美湖南玉蟾岩新石器早期洞穴的合作发掘与研究”、“中美合作成都平原新石器时代聚落调查与研究”、“中日合作良渚文化石器研究”、“中日长江下游新石器时代植物考古学研究”等。
　　2003年，学院与英国伦敦大学学院（UCL）联合成立了“中国文化遗产保护与考古学研究国际中心（ICCHA）”。中心成立以来，每年向伦敦大学学院选送考古和文物保护研究生，并合作开展 “浙江余姚田螺山河姆渡文化遗址出土自然遗存综合研究”、“辽宁牛河梁红山文化遗址群保护的咨询研究”等项前沿课题。
　　学院经常邀请国际及我国港台地区的知名学者前来讲学。学院的教师也经常被邀请参加国际学术会议、讲学及合作研究。

The School makes much account of international academic exchange and has established extensive cooperative relationships with many famous universities and institutes.  The archaeological research is promoted by programs such as scholar exchange and cooperative research projects.
Presently, the international cooperative projects include: “prehistoric culture and environment research at Tangshan site” (French-Chinese), “the excavation and research of Yuchanyan Neolithic cave Site” (American-Chinese), “survey and settlement study of Neolithic Chengdu Plain” (American-Chinese), “investigation of Liangzhu culture’s lithic artifacts” (Japanese-Chinese), “archaeobotany research in lower Yangtze”(Japanese-Chinese), etc.
In 2003, an International Joint Center of Chinese Culture Heritage and Archaeology Research was established in cooperation with University College London (UCL).  From then on, the School sent three graduate students to UCL every year and carried out pioneering researches cooperatively such as “integrated study on natural remains from Tianluoshan site of Hemudu Culture”, “consultative study on the conservation of Niuheliang site group of  Hongshan culture”.
The School also tried every possible way to invite world-renowned archaeologists to give lectures. In the mean time, the school has also sent its faculty members outside the country for short-term visits or international conferences.
In recent years, the School held international conferences nearly twice every year. This made it possible to have a direct and extensive discussion with the archaeologists all over the world on a series of important subjects, such as “the origin of modern humans”, “the origin of agriculture”, “the process of early civilizations”, “Silk road and East-West cultural exchange”.
