One of the ways we are determining "when" I wrote things will be based on the last changed dates of the files. Our AFS cell dates back to the early 90s (which is when I got my AFS admin certification.)

The question may arise, is how easy is it to "fake" these file system time stamps - do they come from the AFS client or from the AFS file servers?

Trivial.  If you have access to the files, and if you have something like
perl or ruby installed, you can basically type in a command to reset the
timestamps to whatever value you wanted.
