Comment (by rajinsharwar):

 The get_archive_template() function retrieves the path to the archive
 template file for the current query. This function displays a list of
 posts on an archive page, such as a blog homepage or a category page. The
 function first checks if only one post type is being queried for, and if
 so, it tries to find a template specific to that post type. For example,
 if the post type is 'post', it will try to find a template named 'archive-
 post.php'. The function returns to the default 'archive.php' template if
 no such template is found. This behavior is intentional, I believe, and is
 designed to allow theme developers to create specific templates for
 different post types if needed. For example, a theme might want to display
 posts in a different way on the archive page, depending on the post type.
