A "dirt" floor, depending on its environment (ex. a stall or pen for animals), could be made from a mixture of earth and small stones. It would normally be tamped (beaten down) at the time of being laid, and it provides a cheap and hard floor surface (with the advantage of absorbing moisture).
Example sentence:

Sukita Crimmel, a “natural builder” in Portland, Ore., installs a dirt floor for a homeowner willing to forgo more traditional floorings like carpet or hardwood.
