Name of Technique for Putting up Shelves in Alcove

Hello folks,

I'm looking for the term for when shelves are put up by a strip of wood being nailed or screwed to two opposing walls, creating a narrow surface at either side on which the shelf sits.

I've done it in a cupboard. The opposite walls are about 3 ft apart. I screwed a rectangular piece of wood to each wall, so that they were level with each other, and then simply laid the shelf on top.

Is there a name for this technique?

Thanks for any help.
