2月15日，陕西省文物局官方微博（@汉唐网）发文聊#考古人的春节#，微博里写道：牛年春节，陕西省考古研究院空港新城考古研究基地全体成员响应政府就地过年的号召，放弃休假，加班开展考古发掘，全力确保西安咸阳国际机场三期扩建工程顺利进行。
微博里还介绍：西安咸阳国际机场三期扩建工程是陕西民航发展史上规模最大，同时也是西北地区最大的民航工程，对陕西省建设西安国际航空枢纽意义重大。在建设工程范围内，勘探共发现各类古代文化遗迹4600余处，其中包括各时期古墓葬3500余座，遗迹数量和规模都非常巨大，考古发掘任务非常艰巨。
According to a microblog post on Monday by the Shaanxi Provincial Administration of Cultural Heritage, more than 3,500 ancient tombs of different dynasties have been discovered on the construction site of the third phase expansion of Xi'an Xianyang International Airport. The airport is in Xianyang, a city about 25 kilometers from downtown Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi. Such a large number and scale means the excavation will be quite difficult.

As of Thursday afternoon, posts on the topic has been viewed over 370 million times, with many netizens leaving comments.
网友留言也是花样百出，比如有认为在西安搞建设十分不容易，地下的古墓实在是太多了。还有网友开始“心疼”文物部门，毕竟只要有啥基建项目，他们就会忙碌起来。
'It's too difficult to build something on the ground of Xi'an, as it has so many ancient tombs underground,' a netizen wrote. Netizen Goodman joked, 'Whenever an infrastructure project kicks off in Xi'an, the archaeology office becomes the city's busiest bureau.'
作为中国历史上的十三朝古都，西安及其相关考古发现经常冲上头条。
As the capital of 13 dynasties throughout Chinese history, Xi'an and its archaeological discoveries have often hit the headlines.
比如地铁线路经过的地区，就会接连发现上千处古代遗存。
相关部门数据统计显示，陕西去年累计完成考古勘探约1180万平方米，发掘古墓葬3956座、古遗址10.58万平方米，平均每天发现10座古墓。
Statistics from the administration showed that last year alone witnessed the excavation of almost 4,000 ancient tombs and more than 100,000 square meters of ancient sites in the province.
