Here's wikipedia's definition:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArchetypeNow, I'm looking for a symbol that represents an archetype, but preferably without representing anything else at the same time...
Any suggestions?

That's a tough one. Archetype usually means prototype, perfect example, origin of some kind, yes?
I don't think you can apply that to a symbol that would refer to nothing...
How about an archetype of matter?
That would be a black dot, representing the most common state of matter in universe, dark matter. Well, in theory anyway..
But people may just mistake it for a mouche.
Ehhhm, I'm getting nowhere with this....

Hey, I like that! But indeed you are right, it's a tough one.

You guys are killing me. Guessing you'll be here all night?

Either way, I figured something out right after that last post of mine. Thanks for the suggestions!

Please, do elaborate. 
No, really. Please. Do elaborate. 
oh sorry. The 1.0 version of something is usually the archetype, no?
