Sorry, I forgot a line:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(index\.php|\.css) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(archive|sitemap)/(.*)$ $1/index.php/$2 [QSA,L]

It seems your rules are not complete. What is after

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(index\.php|\.css) [NC]

?

The first two rules:

location / {
rewrite ^/([\w\-]*-(f|all)\d+(p\d+|/index\d*)?\.html)$ /page.php/$1;

rewrite ^/([\w\-]*-(t|p)\d+(p\d+|/index\d*)?\.html)$ /page.php/$1;

...
}
