Stereotype is negative. An archetype is like 'The Messiah Figure' or some such. Archetypes are basic platforms that serve certain points but which are still interesting through the ages. Stereotypes are boring, unrealistic, or offensive. 'Uncle Tom' is a Stereotype.
 Also, Stereotypes might have something in common with real people in a way that is offensive. And this might change. 
Or a rule of thumb: Look at who appears in Shakespere. Those are Archetypes. Look at who appears in your average horror movie. Those are Stereotypes.
