I believe a beaten earth floor is one which is built when finances can't afford stone. Usually found (though examples are probably extinct or rare now) in churches, beaten floors would be prepared by beating the floor and covering it with ox blood. This would thus harden the floor and make it long lasting. Carpets were very expensive till relatively recently and linoleum is a modern invention.
