I'm looking for cultural histories of precolonial North and South America , as well as Egypt as a Roman province during the Ptolemy era. Any book recommendations for me?

I'm trying to grasp what life would have looked and felt like to your average citizen in these areas and times For the Americas, I'm interested in any Native cultural histories but would really, really love any sources for the Great Plains/moundbuilders, as close to first contact with colonizers as possible. In Egypt, I'm specifically interested in their years under Roman rule and how this would have affected their day to day life.

- how did they eat? How was their food sourced and cooked? what was farm life like?
- how did they dress?
- what were their transportation options?
- what were their daily schedules like? did they go to a temple for religious services?
- what did they do for fun?
