I need reference for the daily lives of ancient clans and tribes.

Googling the names of such countries mostly gets me their politics and/or military facts/encounters. What I need is more about how they lived.
how they got sustenance
what arts and musics they preferred
when they hunted, what they hunted, and how
land laws
rights of battle

all that kind of stuff

Knowledge of ancient crafting methods for armaments and arts are equally important to me as knowledge of how they caught fish or built huts, if not slightly lesser.

Time-range: anywhere from the 1st to 6th centuries.
Areas: Anywhere east of Pakistan, north of Cameroon, south of the north pole, and west of the North Atlantic Ocean.

> mfw reasering 'ancient fishing' on the internet keeps looping me back to bible-stuff
Much of the time it's just about biblical-era stuff, but most of the time it's actually about Christianity.

There's a book called "Behold the Man" by Michael Moorcock that gave a very down to earth picture of life in biblical times.

The subject matter of the story is pretty odd but I enjoyed it. It felt very immediate, and painted people of ancient times as a superstitious lot, but not as retards--you can understand why they think and believe as they do.

I'll give it a look. If it's not too long I'll read it soon, but if it's sizable I'll still make a note of it to read later.
